    Came here on a private Kowloon Michelin Star Street Food and Culture Tour with Hello Hong Kong…read more Can't comment on the food, because we did not even explore the food markets in this building which was surprising because we were on a street food tour. Instead, our guide Alex brought us to the sixth floor to talk and talk and talk about the housing crisis in Hong Kong. Public housing. Private housing. Standards for housing. How private buildings with take one three bedroom unit and subdivide it into four units. The unit may just be a room with a shared bathroom and no kitchen, a bedroom and small kitchen, or a bedroom with a small kitchen and a bathroom. The whole unit may be 100 square feet. A 10 foot by 10 foot until for a family which may include three generations and pets. Over time, squatters have even been grandfathered in as they have built a small house on top of the roof. Lots of TV antennas on the roof as well as trees that have sprouted up. No elevators in the buildings that we viewed from the sixth floor. Lots of stairs to climb. Many people waiting on the lucky lottery tickets for years and years to be eligible for public housing that would cost $150, $250 or $350 per month. Can't make too high of an income or they don't qualify. Great view of the dilapidated public buildings in the foreground that contrasted with beautiful, new public housing buildings in the background. Also interesting to hear how older people collect cardboard soaked with water to be sold for recycling. Why soaked with water? It is sold by weight, so the water makes it heavier.
