LIVING LIKE A PIGEON

Have life been unfair to everyone? While some of us here are comfortably in our homes with at least some moveable areas, some of those less fortunate people in Hong Kong are living in pigeon-hole like concrete jungle homes. Can you imagine having only a room to provide shelter to a whole household? That’s the problem in most developed countries where the living standards are so high that only the rich can afford a comfortable home. The cost of owning just a small piece of property would be almost impossible for any below average income group.

At least, there’s a roof above their heads but is this the type of living condition anyone would want for a lifetime? I guessed not. When a country with such a limited land developed so rapidly, the price for any vacant slot would definitely rise up within a matter of years. Thank the lucky star that you are not in that situation, at least for now. Appreciate what you have and be happy that your life is a livable one. You won’t want to live as the people below right?

WOULD YOU BE CAUGHT LIVING IN IT?

My friend sent me these photos on how our houses would look like in the future and I thought I might as well share them with you since those houses looked rather interesting. I must admit that some of the photos were photoshopped real professionally. It kept me wondering whether this will become a reality when the human population gets bigger. What would you think? Could you go to sleep at night and not to wonder if these houses would still be there the next morning?
