3 cranes and a big hole

3-cranes-and-a-big-hole.jpg

About a block from my flat a new skyrise luxury apartment building is going up. For about a year all that
existed was a bottomless hole in the ground. But now the foundation has been built up enough you can
see the structure forming. I imagine by this time next year you won’t be able to see Victoria Harbor at all
from here unless you can afford the multi million dollar flat that allows one. The demographic for Hong
Kong shows a drop in population of 5-6%. The reason is that no can afford it anymore. If you’re not rich,
the only place left to live is near the Chinese border in New Territories. Sorry guys: wear a mask when
the wind blows South.
