  • The rift between rich and poor in Hong Kong is profound. Despite being the global capital of the super-wealthy, the premium on space has driven 200,000 people to live in inhumanly cramped conditions.

    02:26 What the man really said is: I enjoy the company here and don't want to leave this place, though the subtitles also told the sad truth - it really takes years for local people to get public housing. BUT new immigrants from China get public housing faster than local people. Dig deeper!

      That lady was so sweet 🥹 😂I loved her. And the kindness and concern when she realized she shut the door in the camera person’s face? Oh, my heart! ❤️

    Five million danish kroner is almost $800,000 for A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT.

      Welcome to downtown Vancouver, Canada. The average salary is under $60,000/yr and the average home in the whole city costs roughly $2000000. After taxes, you are left with roughly $40,000. It would take 100% of your income for 50 years to pay off a 0% mortgage. In a two income household it would still take 25 years of every penny you make to pay off the house. Obviously this isn't even close to possible and it's the reason why extremely few people can earn enough money on their own to buy a house. You almost always have to have substantial help from family. Add a historically normal 6.75% mortgage, 25 years, you pay roughly the same amount of interest as principal so it would take a couple earning average wages 50 years of all of their income to pay off the house.

    I would have a vasectomy if I live in Hong Kong so my children will never endure such suffering.
