Americans can't do shit about Hong Kong. It isn't within our realm to help them. I could ask you why you aren't doing more for the kids starving to death in Africa. :v Hong Kong needs to help Hong Kong.

this is basically the end-game for all those who are not part of the capital class

reduce the cost of their work and demand they reduce their living expenses until their living conditions kill them

right now it's just the poorest 3% of hong kong living in these conditions, though. we are actually a long way off from this being the norm and so are they.

I had a nice apartment when I lived in Hong Kong...when I was 3.

Automation will fix this somehow!

The poor will be left to go fuck themselves, they're already being paid next to nothing

As shitty as those places are I would still take that over being homeless tbh

Climate change is bad! You will lower your standard of living so the earth can survive!

This 50-square-foot cubicle is a multi-function space for the Leung family: it’s their sleeping room, dinning room, and kitchen.

my goodness that's depressing

climate change will have its most direct impact on much poorer people as water shortages ensue

"I’m still alive, and yet I am already surrounded by four coffin planks!" says one of Hong Kong’s cage home tenants.

Damn

There are starving kids in Africa and what are you doing TC?

These people need to move somewhere else

Wow, Those are the 700$ a month NYC apartments aren't they?

I had a friend who studied abroad in Hong Kong, and by the pictures she posted her apartment was pretty awesome.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution had those things in Hong Kong. It's depressing >_>

A 400-square-foot flat can be subdivided to accommodate nearly 20 double-decker sealed bed spaces.

In all seriousness, if NYC's property owners could get away with that, legally, they'd do it in a heartbeat. And it's not going to change in Hong Kong because China doesn't give a fuck.

this. some of those look really comfy. here even basic housing is so expensive and low cost options like this don't exist, so if you can't afford a normal place you're out on the street.

It takes an optimist of biblical proportion to see a glorified casket as better than nothing. A fucking squat is better than those, at least someone living on the streets can spread their arms and stand up. And doesn't have to cook in the shitter.
