Is Hong Kong’s drive to eliminate substandard housing doing more harm than good?

Hong Kong's efforts to eliminate substandard housing are being questioned for potentially causing more harm than good. The article highlights the case of May, a single mother, and her three children who recently moved into a 200 sq ft subdivided flat in Kwai Tsing. This move represented a significant improvement from their previous living situations, including a squatter hut and a smaller 100 sq ft subdivided flat. Kwai Tsing is identified as a district with low average household incomes. The article implies that while the government aims to improve housing conditions, the displacement of residents from substandard housing might lead to worse outcomes for vulnerable populations.
