  1. 1500 pounds, is a month's salary in the UK. Just why do this family puts up with it ?!!? Why do they not go elsewhere in the mainland ?? Surely, this kind of pricing, should deter them from entering HK to begin with ??? This is SO crazy !..... Why kind of work, do they do ? That can "afford" them this kind of "luxury". This is SO crazy. HK Housing dept need to send them away... and condemn these old buildings !!!

  2. Only in Tokyo though... cos it is the capital city. Professional workers, tend to put up with this... Until they get promoted upwards, and then issues would be different.

  3.  Mrs. G  : I think I realised what has happened.. Cos the 1997 Asian financial crash was one situation.... and recently, there was hyper inflation... That is what happened, and they cannot control its effect. So the mainland side kept to this. It just... I think this is why people in HK suffered a lot. Their "inequality gap" was much wider. Even though in the UK, we speak of this... This is the so called "China lifted 900 million people out of poverty".... They boasted this, but they did not separate the needed inter-dependencies... This is why. What was a North/South financial centre, I think the country wants just the "one"... And this is the small accumulative effect. China cannot run on one single bank alone. The region is too large. I have read recently that some banks folded, again. (Just like the cultural revolution. Which saw hyper inflation afterwards, and Nationalists/ROC exited out of the country, in order to anchor the situation. This is like, happening again.) --- These people... "learn as they go" !!! (They grew too fast, too much...)
