Ming Pao Society Review

Simplicity public housing controversy continues, and officials have repeatedly stood at the moral highland of "helping bad homes"."Cheap", such as misleading; Kai Tak's minimalist public housing location touched the vested interest nerves and caused a rebound.How to deal with officials is still to be observed.Hong Kong's land building housing and building housing and building houses are heavy. In the next few years, traditional public housing supply is facing faults. The government wants to find a shortcut to deal with it. At the expense of the work, it will promote simple public housing, which will become expedient.Simplicity public housing may not have resistance. It is better to exclude difficulties in the construction of traditional public housing and the construction of traditional public housing.

The cost of minimalist public housing is high

Challenge of vested interests

Simplicity public housing has to be disassembled for several years, restore land use, and cost -effective issues have attracted much attention.Government officials moved out a series of figures to escort simplicity public housing.According to the official statement, the average cost of the short layer of minimalist public housing units is 530,000 yuan, and the high -rise is 650,000 yuan, which is lower than the average cost of traditional public housing units of 760,000 yuan. Considering that the children's house children stay in simple public housing, you can do it.There is a relatively better environment for growth, and it is even more "price".

No one opposes the government to help children in the mortuary, but public policies always talk about cost benefits.Simplicity public housing will apply for funding to the Legislative Council in two phases. According to the documents of the Legislative Council's Working Group, the first phase of the first phase applies for about 14.9 billion yuan, covering the first batch of 4 project construction expenses, and the second batch of simplicity of simple public housing.The pre -construction cost of public housing project construction, including about 8.55 billion yuan in construction projects (including pillar pillars), house equipment engineering (including electromechanical devices, etc.), about 2.4 billion yuan, and about 1.37 billion yuan in foundation projects, the remaining 2.6 billion yuanConsultation fees and canal engineering.

Regarding the cost of minimalist public housing, a major puzzle of the outside world is that the official alternation emphasizes that "minimalist public housing is cheaper than traditional public housing", but the total expenses mentioned that the total planned expenses were 26.44 billion yuan.In addition to 30,000 units, the average public housing in each simple public housing will cost 880,000 yuan, which is obviously expensive than traditional public housing.Take a closer look at the number attachment of the Legislative Council documents. As the core project of Kai Tak Minimalism Public Housing, it provides about 10,000 units. The single -plan construction related projects will cost 9.5 billion yuan. The public's "actual cost" of each unit is 950,000 yuan.It can be described as taken for granted. If the project will be dismantled after 5 years, the average annual cost of each unit is 190,000 yuan. In contrast, the traditional public housing is a permanent project and will not become a cloud of smoke.The official so -called minimalist public housing "each unit costs 530,000 yuan to 650,000 yuan", which is really misleading.

In addition to cost disputes, the Kai Tak Minimal House project has recently faced another "front", which is the opposition of vested interests.Kai Tak's minimalist housing is located in the private building in the neighboring area. As soon as the news of the "10,000 houses" came out, the owners of the real estate industry and the district were discussed.The construction of a minimalist house is "mismatched land resources"; some district councilors say more straightforwardly and believe that Kai Tak's minimalist public housing project is "unfair" to neighboring owners. They originally thought that in the second core business district in the futureHowever, in the end, there was neither a monorail railway, but also a minimalist public housing, and it was "running down" with the original plan.The Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce held a special meeting for discussion yesterday. After the meeting, the chairman of the Executive Committee bluntly said, "The government has changed the house (simple public housing), and the Chamber of Commerce has to agree."Whether the land development plan will change.

The response from the owner in the area to the real estate industry is not surprising.In the past, some near -shore reclamation plans and public housing projects were often heard of similar opposition. Some owners were worried that the invincible landscape was blocked, and some owners were paying attention to the property price."Public harm" is viewed, not to mention simple public housing.Of course, the problem of Kai Tak has its own uniqueness itself.In the Zeng Yinquan era, the Kai Tak Development Plan was launched. In the early days, only 30,000 residential units were planned to be built. More than half of them were private buildings. At that time, the government advertised that Kai Tak would become a new core business district in Hong Kong. Real estate developers also attracted buyers.Quick, far behind the situation. Today, more than ten years later, people talk about "South Finance and Beichunke".The planning is changed again to increase the supply of public housing. Some former members described the previous residential density planning that was too luxurious and reasonable, but some people felt unwilling.Kai Tak's simple public housing project, touched the vested interest again, naturally caused a rebound.

The problem of good governance and good governance

It is difficult to become a big device for cheap

Kai Tak has a MTR station, and there are many bus lines. Compared with many new development areas, the population density is not high. The so -called traffic load problem is exaggerated. HoweverIt is relatively easy to attack vested interests.The good governance should take the result as the goal, but it does not mean that "walking" is a good practice.The government's land to build traditional public housing needs to overcome the obstacles of the levels, which takes more than ten years; the nature of simple public housing is a temporary project, and it does not need to permanently change the original land use.For the "shortcut" of ease of short -term house supply, the government said that there is no need to go to the city's regulations, but the rebound caused by the project shows that whether it is simply public housing or traditional public housing, it may also face vested benefits.resistance.If the government believes that the resistance of Kai Tak's simple public housing project can be overcome, in fact, the same determination can also be used to eliminate all difficulties, and make every effort to promote projects such as reclamation or brown land recovery or development of green land to accelerate the construction of traditional public housing.Good governance and good governance should take the right path and less shortcuts. Instead of acting cheaply, it is better to face the core of the problem and try to overcome challenges.
