Hong Kong is regarded as one of the most expensive cities in the world, which has an impact on real estate prices. About half a million people live in flats of 2-3 square meters in this metropolis. We see in the film how a bedroom, kitchen, and hall fit in such a space; at first impression, a closet is no larger than a regular bathroom.

An antique Hong Kong mansion starts at $25,000 per square meter. The principal housing stock is around 1.5 times more costly. Apartments in the center start at $200,000 per square foot. The metropolitan area’s population will approach 7.65 million by 2022. Because there is a severe shortage of housing, prices will continue to rise.

Real estate owners who have long mastered how to convert a 40-meter-long flat into a dozen little rooms gain from such a circumstance. Tenants must provide for their own lives. Even with such a small space, apartments with high ceilings are regarded as the best since you can create a “second level” and put a bed on it.

In these situations, cleanliness is often overlooked; a restroom is frequently installed directly in the kitchen. Despite its housing issues, Hong Kong remains a popular tourist destination for thousands of people. Each of them expects to transform his life for the better sooner or later.
