由於覓地建屋需時，政府在推行長遠房屋政策和措施以外，會協助和促成各項由民間主導和推行的短期措施，增加過渡性住屋供應，紓緩輪候公共租住房屋家庭和其他居住環境惡劣人士的生活困難。
Since it takes time to identify land for increasing housing supply in addition to carrying out the long - term housing policy and measures the Government will support and facilitate the implementation of various short - term initiatives on transitional housing to alleviate the hardship faced by families awaiting public rental housing PRH and the inadequately housed
運輸及房屋局轄下的過渡性房屋專責小組由本人領導。專責小組會為民間機構擬議的過渡性房屋項目提供統籌支援，在諮詢相關的政策局和部門後，按個別項目的需要給予適切的支持和配合，包括就行政或法定程序提供意見和協助申請資助等。
The Task Force on Transitional Housing Task Force under the Transport and Housing Bureau led by me seeks to provide coordinated support in consulation with relevant bureaux and departments for community initiatives on transitional housing depending on the needs of individual projects . Such support includes offering advice on administrative or statutory procedures as well as assistance in applying for funding
專責小組正在協助及促成多個由不同民間團體倡議的項目，例如由香港社會服務聯會營運的"社會房屋共享計劃"及獲關愛基金撥款資助位於深水埗南昌街的"組合社會房屋計劃"等。
The Task Force is curently assisting and facilitating a number of projects advocated by various non - governmental organizations including the Community Housing Movement operated by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service and the Modular Social Housing scheme located on Nam Cheong Street in Sham Shui Po which is supported by the Hong Kong Community Care Fund
為善用現有房屋資源，香港房屋協會於2018年9月推出"未補價資助出售房屋出租計劃"，讓合資格的業主在未補價的情況下，分租單位房間予特定租戶。
To make better use of existing housing resources the Hong Kong Housing Society HKHS launced the Letting Scheme for Subsidised Sale Developments with Premium Unpaid in September 2018 allowing eligible flat owners to sublet their rooms to targeted tenants without paying premium
計劃的目標租戶是輪候公屋滿3年的家庭及長者1人申請者，以及輪候滿6年的非長者1人申請者，以協助他們在獲配公屋前改善居住環境。
The targeted tenants of the Scheme are family and elderly one - person applicants waitlisted for PRH for three years or more as well as non - elderly one - person applicants waitlisted for six years or more . The Scheme aims to improve their living environment before PRH allocation
房協現正檢討計劃及收集市民意見，並會在有需要時調整計劃細節。
HKHS is reviewing the Scheme and collecting views from the public . The operational details will be fine - tuned as and when necessary
至於有意見認為，政府可考慮重建高樓齡公共租住屋邨，以增加公屋供應。
There have been views that the Government may consider redeveloping aged PRH estates to increase the supply of PRH
就此，我們過往曾進行不少討論。
In this regard we have had considerable deliberations in the past
正如《長策》解釋，重建計劃雖然長遠可增加公屋供應，但短期來說，會即時減少可供編配予輪候公屋人士的單位數量。這是由於原本可供編配予公屋申請者的單位，必須改為用於安置受重建影響的租戶。
As explained in the Long Term Housing Strategy while redevelopment may increase PRH supply over the long term in the short run it will immediately reduce the number of flats which can be allocated to those waiting for PRH because such flats will have to be used to rehouse tenants displaced by redevelopment instead of being allocated to PRH applicants
縱使重建可增加單位供應，但是往往需要數年方可完成，因此會延長公屋申請者的輪候時間。
Even though redevelopment when completed will increase the supply of flats it will take a few years and lengthen PRH applicants waiting time as a result
目前我們強調是目前公屋需求殷切及公屋輪候時間較長的情況下，大規模的重建計劃並不可取。
Given the current―we stress current―high demand and long waiting time for PRH it is not advisable to carry out massive redevelopment programmes
按照上述策略，房委會會繼續按2011年制訂的"重建高樓齡公共租住屋邨的優化政策"，基於4個基本原則，即樓宇的結構狀況、修葺工程的成本效益、重建屋邨附近是否有合適的遷置資源，以及原址重建的潛力，來考慮應否重建個別屋邨。
Along with this strategy HA will keep considering redevelopment on an estate - by - estate basis in accordance with the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged PRH Estates formulated in 2011 with refernece to four basic principles viz structural conditions of buildings cost - effectiveness of repair works availability of suitable rehousing resources in the vicinity of the estates to be redevelopled and build - back potential uopn redevelopment
對於未落實重建的高樓齡屋邨，房委會會繼續維持和改善屋邨的狀況，亦會繼續推行各項計劃及措施，包括屋邨改善計劃、全方位維修計劃，以及為升降機進行現代化工程等，為居民提供安全舒適的居住環境。
For aged PRH estates with no confirmed redevelopment plan HA will continue to upkeep and improve the building conditions and also continue to implement various programmes and measures including the Estate Improvement Programme the Total Maintenance Scheme and lift modernization so as to provide residents with a safe and comfortable living environment
部分意見我已在開場發言有所論述，我在這裏不會重複，就其他的意見，我現在總結一下，並就以下數點作出回應和補充。
Some of the views have been discussed in my opening speech so I will not repeat them here . As for other views I would like to make a summary now . In addition I will make a response and provide supplementary information in relation to the following points
剛才多位議員發言時，提出了各項意見和建議，出發點都是希望增加未來，尤其是短中期的公營房屋供應。
In their earlier speeches a number of Members put forward various views and suggestions all founded on the hope of increasing public housing supply in the future especially in the short and medium term
事實上，政府一直積極推動這方面的工作。
In fact the Government has been actively taking forward the work in this area
首先，2019-2020年度起10年期的公私營房屋供應比例，已由以往的60：40調整至70：30，以進一步回應社會對公營房屋的需求。
First of all the publicprivate split of new housing supply has been revised from 60col40 to 70col30 for the ten - year period starting from 2019 - 2020 so as to further address the demand for public housing in the community
此外，行政長官亦於2018年施政報告中表明，會調撥更多土地作公營房屋發展，政府開拓的新增土地，以房屋單位計算，七成應用於公營房屋。
In addition the Chief Executive has indicated in the 2018 Policy Address that more land will be allocated to public housing development and 70 % of the housing units on the Governments newly developed land will be for public housing
為增加公營房屋供應，政府在去年推行了兩項新措施。
To increase public housing supply the Government introduced two new measures last year
一項措施是在去年6月29日公布決定將9幅原本計劃在未來數年出售的啟德及安達臣道石礦場用地，改撥為公營房屋用途，預料可提供約11,000個公營房屋單位，有助收窄後期公營房屋的供應短缺。
One of them as in the Governments decision announced on 29 June last year is to re - allocate nine sites which were originally intended for sale in the coming few years at Kai Tak and Anderson Road Quarry for public housing . The sites are expected to provide some 11 000 public housing units which will help narrow the public housing shortage in later years
政府日後會考慮把更多私營房屋用地改撥為公營房屋用途。
The Government will consider in future converting more private housing sites for public housing development
另一項措施是，為善用公營房屋用地，目前在人口較稠密的港島北面和九龍半島以外，公營房屋用地的住用地積比率可在技術可行的情況下增加最多三成。
Another measure is that to optimize the use of public housing land the current policy allows the maximum domestic plot ratio for public housing sites except those in the north of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula which are more densely populated to increase by up to 30 % where their technical feasibility permits
這兩項新措施，都能夠增加公營房屋的供應。
Both new measures will increase the supply of public housing
有議員建議善用公共房屋的空間，就此香港房屋委員會一直有探討及研究如何善用空間，我們會繼續考慮各項建議的可行性。
Some Members suggested making optimal use of the spaces in public housing . In this connection the Hong Kong Housing Authority HA has been exploring and studying how to make optimal use of space and we will continue to consider the feasibility of various proposals
亦有議員表示，基建先行有利發展房屋。
Some other Members said that prior availability of infrastructure would facilitate housing development
運輸及房屋局在制訂《鐵路發展策略2014》時，當時的顧問曾就興建鐵路貫通屯荃海岸線的可行性作出詳細評估。
When the Transport and Housing Bureau was formulating the Railway Development Strategy 2014 RDS - 2014 the consultant at that time evaluated in detail the feasibility of constructing a railway along the coastline between Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan
根據顧問的分析，屯荃海岸線的人口主要集中在東西兩端，其餘地段的發展密度較低，預計不會有新的客源基礎。
According to the consultants analysis the local population is mainly concentrated at the eastern and western ends of the coastline between Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan; while the development density of the remaining areas is relatively low and no basis for new source of passengers is anticipated
同時，由於涉及一定的技術困難，單在屯荃海岸線興建鐵路的建造成本預算相當高。
Meanwhile due to the technical difficulties involved solely the construction cost of a railway along the coastline between Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan is expected to be very high
《鐵路發展策略2014》指出，以當時掌握的情況而言，屯荃鐵路的成本效益難以確立；長遠來說，如果屯門與荃灣之間的沿海地區的規劃情況及人口有進一步變化，以及運輸需求長遠有所增長，或者該地區的發展規劃有新的考慮，政府或會重新考慮這個鐵路方案。
The RDS - 2014 states that the cost - effectiveness of Tuen Mun - Tsuen Wan Link can hardly be established according to the information at that time; and in longer term the Government would consider revisiting the railway proposal if there are further changes in the planning circumstances and population as well as an increase in transport demand in the coastal areas between Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan or new considerations in the planning for development in the region
行政長官於2018年施政報告中提出"明日大嶼願景"，當中所提出的鐵路走廊有部分與屯荃鐵路的走線，即屯門至青龍頭段相若。
The Chief Executive mentioned the Lantau Tomorrow Vision in the 2018 Policy Address in which a part of the proposed railway corridor is similar to the alignment of Tuen Mun - Tsuen Wan Link
運輸 及房屋局計劃根據發展局和規劃署在進行的《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》研究內所設定的整體土地規劃，推展《跨越2030年的鐵路及主要幹道策略性研究》。
The Transport and Housing Bureau plans to take forward the Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030 on the conceptual spatial requirements to be firmed up under the Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 which is being conducted by the Development Bureau and the Planning Department
運輸及房屋局將會根據最新的規劃資料，包括跨境運輸數據，檢視本港2031年至2041年或以後的鐵路和主要幹道等運輸基建的供求，並研究新界西北在2030年以後的重鐵運量。
Based on the latest planning information the Transport and Housing Bureau will examine the demand for and supply of transport infrastructure including railways and major roads in Hong Kong between 2031 and 2041 and study the loading of the heavy rails in the Northwest New Territories beyond 2030
主席，剛才聽了兩位相當資深的議員石禮謙議員和葉劉淑儀議員的發言後，我必須作出一些回應，因為他們均提到"公民黨"這3個字。
President having just listened to the speeches delivered by two rather veteran Members namely Mr Abraham SHEK and Mrs Regina IP I feel obliged to make some responses because both of them have mentioned the Civic Party
石禮謙議員剛才提到《基本法》第一百零五條時，說得相當激動。
Mr Abraham SHEK was rather emotional when he mentioned Article 105 of the Basic Law earlier on
他問到我們現時是否要違反《基本法》和違反業權擁有人的應有權益，以及收回土地是否等於不尊重《基本法》第一百零五條。
He asked whether we are going to violate the Basic Law and infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of title owners and whether land resumption is tantamount to disrespect for Article 105 of the Basic Law
我知道石禮謙議員唸過法律，相信他亦知道第一百零五條的字眼是"in accordance with law"，即是要按照基本的法律程序和法律公義行使一個人的產業權。
Knowing that Mr Abraham SHEK has studied law I believe he is also aware that the wording in Article 105 is in accordance with law . In other words it is necessary to exercise ones property rights in accordance with the basic legal procedures and legal justice
我相信石禮謙議員並非不知道這點，但投票選他的地產商希望他這樣發言，是要把業權說成大於......即使社會欠缺足夠土地，並有迫切公眾需要興建更多房屋和公屋我先申報我是香港房屋委員會的委員在香港面對嚴重的土地短缺問題時，作為地產商的代表，他也要在議會內大聲讀出《基本法》第一百零五條，把他們的業權說得好像神聖不可侵犯般。
I believe Mr Abraham SHEK is not unaware of this point but the property developers who voted for him want him to speak in such a way that portrays the title as more important than Even though there is an acute shortage of land in Hong Kong and an urgent public need for provision of more private homes and public housing―I declare in advance that I am a member of the Hong Kong Housing Authority―he as a representative of the property developers still has to read aloud Article 105 of the Basic law in this Chamber as if their title is sacredly inviolable
所以，我希望石禮謙議員聽清楚、看清楚《基本法》第一百零五條才發言。
Therefore I wish Mr Abraham SHEK had clearly heard and read Article 105 of the Basic Law before speaking
沒錯，在該處打球確實有很大的樂趣，但她提到香港哥爾夫球會屬於全香港市民時，我便感到有些奇怪。
Yes it is really fun to play golf there but it struck me as somewhat weird when she suggested that HKGC belongs to all Hong Kong people
如果她說香港哥爾夫球會屬於全香港市民......
If she meant that HKGC belongs to all Hong Kong people
主席，郭議員誤解了我的意思，我剛才指北區有如此良好的生態環境，全是屬於市民的。
President Mr KWOK has misunderstood my meaning . What I meant just now was that there is such a good ecological environment in North District and the whole of it belongs to the public
很多議員同事說我"離地"，但我認為葉劉淑儀議員比我更加"離地"。
Many Honourable colleagues describe me as being out of touch with reality but I think Mrs Regina IP is more so than I am
最低限度，我知道我要支付1,000多元，跟隨朋友前往粉嶺打球時，我並非在代表香港人享受當地的生態價值，又或是享受那棵樹、那條河流、那片綠草地等。
At the very least I know I have to pay more than 1,000 to follow my friends to go golfing at Fanling and I am not enjoying its ecological value on behalf of all Hong Kong people nor that tree that river that green etc
我不是要求立即清拆整個高爾夫球場，或不理會粉嶺高爾夫球場本身既有的生態價值或歷史價值，但她提出高爾夫球場是供全體香港人享用，這種說話相當"離地"和假仁假義的。
I am not asking for the immediate demolition of the entire golf course or disregard for the existing ecological or historical values of the Fanling Golf Course but her remark that the golf course is for the enjoyment of all Hong Kong people is quite out of touch with reality and hypocritical
我探訪了一位單親母親和她手抱大約1歲的女兒，我並不能夠進入她的"劏房"，因為雖然我也能夠在屋內站立，但只要轉身便會撞到她的家具和擺設，那裏有很多雜物，右邊是電磁爐和電飯煲，正前方是相當殘破的廁所，左邊是雙層床，上層全部是雜物。
I could not enter her subdivided unit because even though I could stand inside it I would bump into her furniture and other objects if I just turned around . There were a lot of things in the unit . On the right there were an induction cooker and a rice cooker
我探訪她後，覺得香港如此富庶的城市竟然有如此惡劣的生活環境，其實是香港人的悲哀，亦是香港的羞耻。
Right in the front there was a rather dilapidated washroom . On the left there was a bunk bed and there were things all over the upper bunk . After visiting her my feeling was that when there are people living in these appalling conditions in such an affluent city as Hong Kong it is actually very saddening to Hongkongers and also a disgrace to Hong Kong
所以，當一些商界人士或建制派部分人士說高爾夫球場很重要，不要收回，因為會影響高爾夫球運動、影響他們商談生意等，我認為的確是有影響，我不能說沒有影響；不過，我們要平衡整體社會的利益。
Some members of the business sector or the pro - establishment camp say that the golf course is very important and that it must not be resumed for this would affect the golf sport and also affect them in making business deals and so on . While I think that they will indeed be affected and I cannot say that there will be no impact at all we have to balance the interests of society as a whole
現在房屋的問題是香港最重大的民生議題，建制派和商界經常說民主派只搞政治，破壞民生和經濟，為何最重要的民生議題你們卻不說呢？
The housing problem is the most important issue relating to the peoples livelihood in Hong Kong now . The pro - establishment camp and the business sector always say that the pro - democracy camp cares only about politics to the detriment of the peoples livelihood and the economy so why do you turn your back on the most important issue relating to the peoples livelihood?
財政司司長最懂經營"劏房"，他的生意便能滾滾而來了，是否如此呢？
And as the Financial Secretary is most adept at running subdivided units does it mean that his business will then thrive? . Is that the case?
我在數年前寫過一篇文章，標題是"寧打高爾夫，家園危危乎"。
A few years ago I wrote an article entitled Playing golf is a preferred option while peoples homes are at stake
為推行東北發展計劃，多個村民住了數十年的家園，政府說為了公眾利益和社會整體利益而要收回來進行發展，我們是明白的；但在對面的高爾夫球場，你卻說為了在青蔥草地上結伴同遊，欣賞高爾夫球場的美景，市民數十年的家園你卻說應該放棄，而你一個月前往一兩次的高爾夫球場則寸土不讓，這樣說得過去嗎？
For the sake of the North East New Territories development project the homes of many villagers for decades have to be resumed for development in public interest and in the overall interest of society according to the Government . This we understand . But when it comes to the golf course just opposite these villagers homes you say that it is where you hang out with friends on the green green grass to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the golf course and while you say that the homes of the people for decades should be given up not an inch can be budged regarding the golf course where you go once or twice a month
主席，另一方面，我們說到軍事用地，其實涂謹申議員寫得很穩健，提出與中央政府協商，只是協商而已，報請中央人民政府，"將香港部分閒置或使用率偏低的軍事用地釋放作房屋發展用途"。
On the other hand President when it comes to military sites actually Mr James TO has used most proper wordings by proposing to negotiate with the Central Government . He only proposes negotiation or reporting to the Central Government for approval on releasing certain idle or underutilized military sites in Hong Kong for housing development purposes
因為中央政府可以在3分鐘內派軍隊步兵而已佔領政府總部、行政長官辦公室、立法會大樓和終審法院，他們可於3分鐘內跑過去，全部可以佔領。
The purpose is to enable the Central Government to deploy its army infantry only in three minutes to occupy the Government Headquarters the Office of the Chief Executive the Legislative Council Complex and the Court of Final Appeal . They can rush there in three minutes and take over all these places
所以，涂議員，恕我直言，這些軍事用地真的難以報請中央釋放出來，無論這些用地是否在黃金地段，而環顧全世界，有哪個重要的城市會把軍事基地正正放在政府總部和立法機關的旁邊呢？
So with due respect Mr TO it is really difficult to report to the Central Government for approval on releasing these military sites disregarding whether they are situated at prime sites or not . If we take an overview around the world in which major cities do we find a military base located right beside the government headquarters and the legislature?
土地供應專責小組報告提出的3項短中期選項非常明確，包括棕地發展、利用私人的新界農地儲備，以及利用私人遊樂場地契約用地作其他用途。
The three short - to - medium term options proposed by the Task Force on Land Supply are most clear . They include developing brownfield sites tapping into private agricultural land reserve in the New Territories and alternative uses of sites under private recreational leases
小組亦指現時情況刻不容緩，一定要多管齊下，沒有忽略任何一項選項的空間。
The Task Force also pointed out that the present situation is pressing and that a multi - pronged approach must be adopted as there is no room for any of the options to be neglected
但是，政府最近對收回契約即將屆滿的粉嶺高爾夫球場不置可否，帶給市民袒護權貴的觀感。
However regarding the resumption of the Fanling Golf Course the lease of which will soon expire the Government has shown neither disapproval nor approval and this has given the public the feeling that the Government is shielding the rich and powerful
香港政府和大財團的親密關係長年被人詬病，而今屆政府多番強調房屋問題是重中之重，又提出"一地多用"等口號之餘，卻又不願觸碰權貴或高爾夫球場這傳統上層階級標誌，又怎能怪市民批評、謾罵聲音不絕，覺得政府"離地"和不聽民意呢？
The close ties between the Hong Kong Government and major consortiums have over the years given cause for criticisms and while the current term Government has repeatedly stressed that the housing issue is most important of all and put forward such slogans as single site multiple uses it is however unwilling to touch the rich and powerful or the golf course which is traditionally an upper - class icon . As such how can the public be blamed for unceasingly hurling criticisms and abuses at the Government saying that the Government is detached from reality and turning a deaf ear to public opinions?
土地供應專責小組清楚指出，未來8年本港最少缺地800公頃，即使報告建議的3個短中期方案全部實行，也無法提供一半的土地。
The Task Force has made it clear that there will be a shortage of at least 800 heactares of land in Hong Kong in the next eight years and even with the implementation of all the three short - to - medium term options proposed in the Report there would not be sufficient land provided to make up for 50 % of the land shortage
在如此嚴峻的情況下，土地供應專責小組建議改建粉嶺高爾夫球場32公頃的方案，其實只是聊備一格，若連這個妥協方案政府也打算全盤推翻，絕對是倒行逆施，民怨定必再次爆發。
Under such urgent circumstances the Task Force put forward the proposal of redeveloping 32 hectares of the Fanling Golf Course which is actually just window dressing . If the Government plans to overthrow even this compromise proposal it would absolutely go against the public wish and public grievances would be set to explode again
公屋為基層提供安身之所，而不難的想象是，市民更希望有一個置業的階梯，而居者有其屋便是市民置業夢的第一站。
Public rental housing provides the grass roots with a roof over their heads and it is imaginable that the public all the more wishes to have a ladder to home ownership and to this end the Home Ownership Scheme HOS is the first stop
很多基層家庭憑着努力工作至收入有改善，由公屋轉居屋，再購入私樓居住，我自己正是其中一個例子。
Through working hard and when attaining an increase in their income many grass - roots families living in PRH units have moved to HOS units and subsequently to self - owned private housing and I am one of these examples
然而，自2002年開始推出"孫九招"停建居屋後，這個置業階梯消失得無影無蹤。
However this ladder to home ownership has vanished into thin air after implementation of the moratorium on the development of HOS units as part of SUENs nine strokes in 2002
根據房屋署的資料，2018年公屋單人最高入息限額為11,540元，而香港政府統計處綜合住戶統計調查顯示，20歲至29歲年齡組別的年青人在2017年的每月就業收入中位數為15,000元；30歲至39歲是2萬元，全部不符合申請公屋的資格。
According to the information of the Housing Department the maximum income limit for one - person PRH units in 2018 is 11,540 and according to the General Household Survey of the Census and Statistics Department in 2017 the median monthly employment earnings was 15,000 for young people in the age group of 20 to 29 and 20,000 for those aged 30 to 39 meaning that they were all ineligible for PRH units
這群"80後"、"90後"的年青人只能租住一些貴價"納米樓"或"劏房"，或繼續與家人同住。
These young people in the post 80s and post 90s generations can only rent expensive nano units or subdivided units or continue to live with their families
早前傳媒也有不少關於年青人嚴重缺乏私人空間的報道，無論是工作、學習，甚至跟伴侶親熱的空間也缺乏，長遠會影響心理和精神健康，難以在本地建立認同感。
Some time ago there were quite a lot of reports in the media about a serious lack of personal space for young people whether at work or in learning and space is lacking even for them to make out with their partners rendering their psychological and mental health affected in the long term and making it difficult for them to develop a sense of identity locally
此外，根據香港中文大學香港亞太研究所在2019年發表的一項民意調查顯示，在708名受訪者中，介乎18歲至30歲的年齡層中有51%的人希望離開香港。
Moreover according to the survey findings published by the Hong Kong Institute of Asia - Pacific Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019 among the 708 respondents 51 % of people aged 18 to 30 would like to leave Hong Kong
甚麼原因令他們有移民打算？
For what reasons do they plan to emigrate?
在有移民或移居打算的市民中，其中一個最多人提及的答案是香港居住環境擠迫，佔25.7%，而明確表示有移民目的地的市民中，最多人提及的外地主要吸引因素是居住環境較為寬敞，佔35%。
For those people intending to emigrate one of the answers mentioned by most people was overcrowded living conditions in Hong Kong accounting for 25.7 % and for people who clearly stated a destination for emigration the pull factor mentioned by most people was ample living space accouting for 35 % . These findings are self - explanatory
答案不言而喻，土地問題令港人失望，下一代無意再一同留港建設發展。
The land problem has caused disappointment among Hongkongers and the next generation does not wish to stay in Hong Kong for development
本屆政府經常說青年和房屋是施政的重點，但情況正正反映現在的香港根本沒有向上流動的機會，難免讓下一代人感到意志消沉。
The current term Government has often said that young people and housing are the key areas of policy administration but the situation has precisely reflected that there is basically no chance for upward mobility in Hong Kong making it inevitable for the next generation to feel demoralized
就房屋政策來說，我要強調，公屋和居屋必須一同增建，青年才有安居樂業的希望。
Insofar as the housing policy is concerned I have to emphasize that PRH units and HOS units must be developed in parallel before there is hope for the young people to live in peace and work with contentment
其中，政策的延續性是房屋問題的關鍵。
In particular the continuity of the policy is the key to addressing the housing problem . Take the Urban Renewal Authority as an example
以市區重建局為例，其專門建造豪宅的形象已經深入民心，政府應展示改變的決心，不要再以市價和財政自負盈虧作為擋箭牌，要增加轉售限制及提供更多平價樓宇，以長遠減輕置業人士的壓力。
The image of it dedicating to developing luxurious residential apartments has already taken root in the hearts of the people . The Government should demonstrate the determination to change such public feeling . It must cease to use market price and the self - financing principle as the shield
今天多位議員提出多項措施，每項都值得花時間小心斟酌，在細節上和可行性上確實眾說紛紜，未必人人認同。
Today a number of Members have put forward many measures . It is worthwhile for us to spend time studying each of these measures carefully and indeed views are diverse on their details and feasibility and a consensus may not necessarily be reached
主席，首先感激涂謹申議員提出這項議案，讓我們今天有機會討論短中期房屋供應這項議題。
President first I thank Mr James TO for putting forth this motion and providing us with an opportunity today to discuss the issue of housing supply in the short - to - medium term . I find the speech by Dr Junius HO―Dr Junius HO again―just now most striking
正所謂"修身、齊家、治國、平天下"，我們常說這個城市的人看不到未來，正是因為很多"80後"、"90後"世代找不到地方住，希望政府可以想法子盡快幫助他們。
As the saying goes Improve upon yourself first then manage your family then govern your state; thereby bringing justice and virtue to the world . It is often said that people in this city cannot see a future precisely because many members of the generations born in the 1980s and 1990s fail to find a place to live and are thus pinning their hope on the Government to come up quickly with ways to help them
軍事用地難道真的碰不得？
Are military sites really untouchable?
