Homes cost 18 Times more Than an average Family's income

Rents are more Than twice the amount you'd Pay in the uk with space at a premium

Most hong Kongers live on top of each Other in tiny flats

I've come to tai wai wire area in the City's New territories where the Leung family have a Two-Bedroom Flat?

They share their home with four other relatives and it's Forced them to look for an ingenious Solution

Wow

It Really Looks like something

futuristic You Should Be on Mars or the moon

They've installed sleeping Pods in the front Room

Effectively Giving them two Extra Bedrooms

On the upper deck and my Parents

So what is it like to sleep in that i like It yeah yeah i enjoy

Sleep Here Just Like

in this spaceship

The Pods cost Just Over a Thousand Pounds Much Cheaper Than renting or Buying more space

It'S quite fun yes oh?

yes

The Light is really relaxing Actually and It Feels a Bit more spacious Than i thought Because They can Sit up

How difficult is it for a Family to be Able to afford to buy a house in hong Kong

Let's Say One Daughter Brother and mother Go outside to work you save all the Money After 20 Years

you May Maybe You can buy a house

It's very Very Expensive pull down the curtain and like closing the door and you can Lock It Here how do you pull out

and Stark Help

Good Night

The Leungs are Lucky

Hong Kong Has One of The World's highest wealth gap the poorer you are the less space you have?

So i'm Just about to meet a guy who lives in What they call a cage community Here and he lives Here because

Property Is so Expensive this is all he can Afford i

Just want to find out What life's like for Him

At first there Seems nothing Unusual about this Building

It's only When i get to alan's door that i realize Just how small his home is

Wow Now i wasn't Expecting that i was Expecting to open the door to go into one, Place but

There's Actually Two Doors Here

can We come in

This used to be Just an Ordinary flat but a private Landlord Has illegally

Divided It into Bed spaces there are no larger Than a Cupboard Nice to meet you

Adi adi adi

Alan Has Lived Here for three Years

He says Eleven People live in This Corridor alone and There's another One Just like It Next Door tell me about

Where you live Visit this space or

All of This Bit Here they're going a dollar

Just in this space

And

Your Kitchen Where do you go for that i think Donald Keep Up

so where'd you go for Food then

Well took Lighting oh

Allen Works As a Dishwasher

He pays a Hundred and Eighty Pounds a month To live Here

To rent a Room in this area Would cost Nearly Three Times as Much

He used to live with relatives but after they passed away this Was the only place he could afford

So you've Got about six foot of space

Lengthwise

it'S so small i

Can't imagine What it must Be like to live in in this small space

you Know book the

Bobo's Funkier Find Out the Man

KonyAku did you know i'm judy Pinky d so i put on my own okay that Black Women

can Go Over California

more Than two million People Already live in public Housing in hong Kong and the waiting list is four and a Half Years

Is this normal Here in hong Kong

They both Annoy going public in woodbury Knit one

Alan'S case might Seem extreme But Over 200,000 people are estimated to live in Places Like This

This Space Here is someone else's Living cause

It'S incredible i mean i can't imagine it staying Here for for a day there are no Years

It Shocks me to see allen's live-in Situation

It'S a reminder That Where there's

Opportunity There's Also

Inequality

hong Kong's Runaway capitalism has made It one of The World's most prosperous cities

But This success comes at a price
