a hish-rise residential building complex in Hong Kong
With 7,000,000 people
sharing the little bit of land, and with land sale being the government's main
revenue other than income taxes, small little apartments and condos in high rises
are the result. And they are building them taller and taller.
For US$300,000,
you can get a 600 square ft condo. For US$1,200 or more you can rent it for one
month.
If you prefer a house like the one in the photo to the left, be prepared to write a much bigger check. Above Left: a house with seaview in Pokfulum.
