Imagine using Hong Kong as evidence of a good society and saying “No homelessness anywhere”. One of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, where people are living 4-6 to the room. This is simply expat navel gazing and little more. | ||

Have you ever been to Hong Kong? Despite having a crazy expensive real estate market, there really is no visible homelessness. I've lived in Hong Kong for 10 years and I can't recall seeing a homeless person even once. (To the extent they exist, it's heavily stigmatized and they hide out of sight, in tents in the woods.) What's more: > "it is the Government's housing policy to provide public rental housing (PRH) to low-income families who cannot afford private rental accommodation" > https://www.gov.hk/en/residents/housing/publichousing/index.... Sure, there's a wait-list, but it's available in principle to all of the needy. | ||
