If a golf course in Hong Kong has only 2,600 members, if a little of it is converted into public housing, 12,000 families will have a fixed home. However, the planning proposal put forward by the Hong Kong SAR government was shelved by the Environmental Advisory Committee on the grounds that 11 trees needed to be conserved and so on.
The Ta Kung Pao Four Asks the Ring Committee: Is it the Hong Kong housing problem that is judged by the ring to determine life and death? What does the members of the Environmental Protection Committee have to do with interest groups? Are birds and moths more important than "shellless snails"? How can land be developed?
Hong Kong is a capitalist society and is dominated by the forces of capital, so all kinds of construction problems in Hong Kong are bound to be caused by inter-consortium games. It is time for the SAR government to show the courage to break through difficulties!
