Inside Hong Kong’s cage homes
 

Better than the streets but damn :(

That's amazing really.

The government of Hong Kong has zero interest in freeing up more land. They get a large percentage of their revenue from leasing out land, which allows them to have very low taxes. The downside is it's expensive for people to rent space, and to save money they cram into little spaces.

You see this starting to happen in the US too. In San Diego, small second houses built in people's back yards seem to be common. In San Francisco, people are renting out "boxes": https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...co-pod-living/

My house is 3200 sq feet. Our only kid is leaving so it will be only my wife and I. There are rooms in our house - the play room and a guest room - that I haven't stepped into in months. It's going to be time for us to downsize soon.

Been there twice... The combination of luxury and worst shit hole on so tight space is just amazing. It's very cruel place and I don't like it.

Do you have a mancave? Tell me you do!!

Coming very soon to liberal hell-holes like San Francisco, NYC, D.C.

What About Bladewire?

crazy cheap place to live with no taxes, but no way would I appreciate the lack of private space :(
