HONG KONG is the best city to live in,

Hong Kong is a very compact city that has
managed to maintain its natural heritage,
create dense network of green spaces and
enjoy extensive links to the rest of the
world.

Despite scoring relatively poorly for
pollution and cultural assets, Hong Kong
scored strongly in the density, green space
and natural assets categories.

Hong Kong- still my home
The actual living conditions in HK are bad. The air is bad.
The streets have too many peoples. The houses are very
very little. Many people work long time but small dollars.
Cars drive very fastly and many many accedents. A lot
of beach are dirty. Many government men are not
honest. So, I do not like to live in Hong Kong.

I been to Macau and Shenzeng only. Macau is a gamble
town. It has less people than HK. Its food is yum-yum.
Its things are cheaper than HK. I like Macau. Shenzeng
has many factories. It is bigger and has less people.
Everything is cheaper. The houses are bigger. HK is


"'
good to make money, but no good to live.

I watch TV. Cage house is small. Some people live in a
bed. Hong Kong is a rich city. So, I felt terrible. I want
to die if I live in this cage. I know HK government gives
publik housing to poor people. Why so many peoples lived
in cages? China is also poor but China has no cage-house.
I want to bring the people from other places to see the
cages and ask them why they think HK is best place?

Hk is no good place to live. But, It is still my home. My
people do not have many many like me. We cannot go to
other cities to study and work. But, we can all work hard
to make HK a better houses. Everybody should live in a
good house. Then, we will be happy.

,BLBF:____________________
Rebuild the city- make it the best
Although HK is a prosperous and free international
metropolis, the living conditions for the average
citizens are below standard as compared to other big
cities like Vancoucer or Sidney. The air pollution level in
certain over crowded areas like Mongkok or Chai Wai is
worrying. Hence, I am very surprised that HK is ranked
the best city to live in by certain people.

When I make a comparison of liveability of different
cities, I use three criteria: spiritual, environmental and
economical. Despite being a world- class financial centre,
HK has been identified as a spiritual dessert, an


")
overcrowded city and a wide- wealth gap zone. If you
have the chance to visit Taipei or Singapore, you will be
surprised that teenagers there are more interested in
reading books (not for exams) and sipping coffee in a
quiet caf just chatting and not worrying about money.
How I envy them!
To access a persons living conditions, there seems to be
no better way than inspecting ones domestic shelter.
However, both sarcastic and tragic it realize that there
are still more than100000 HK citizens residing in caged
cubicles with the size of an ordinary bed. According to
the Gini index, the inequality of income in HK is the
greatest among developed countries and cities. If we do
want HK, a cosmopolitan city, to be a better place to live
in, the immediately rehousing of these caged people


"*
should be of top priority.

The Mayan Scholiasts predicted that this year- 2012-
would be the end of the world. I dont think o. I believe
2012 is a year of change. Hong Kong needs to change-
change for the better. Not only the whole citys
infrastructure should be rebuilt, but also the mindset
of every one of us. We must protect the environment,
improve social security and evolve into a more
humanitarian society. We must rebuild not regress. Why
not make HK the best pace to live in?
