For many years, Hong Kong is still one of the most expensive superior of the planet. The city is famous for skyscrapers, unique mixture of Asian and European cultures and high living standards. More than 150 thousand million million, 350 million million and 40 billionaires live here.
But the title of the Asian Financial Center also has the negative side of the currency – the high cost of real estate. The average price of a square meter in Hong Kong is the sky -Sao 50 thousand dollars. A one-room apartment with an area of 30 squares, will cost $ 1-2 million, making buying a private house with a real elegance. Service costs are also much more expensive than a regular city.
The housing rental market in Asia New York also cannot be proud of affordable prices. For a small room, you will have to pay at least $ 2,000 from the center, in the center – up to 4500 thousand dollars. With an average salary of $ 2500, even a modest studio can only be removed by a very successful and wealthy person.
The price increases, the more difficult it is to find a solvent. After that, the owners of the housing came up with the idea of dividing apartments for rent into some very small establishments. Someone simply started resolving renters in iron beds, so some families could live in a normal apartment at the same time.
Surprisingly, even for such apartments, there is a need. Tourists from poor provinces are ready to endure any shortage for the benefit of high income. The cost of a similar type of housing is $ 150-200 dollars per month. Currently, more than 500 thousand Hong Kong people live in such conditions.
