軍事用地碰也不敢碰，現時香港有19幅軍事用地，佔地2,700公頃，需要那麼多土地嗎？
Military sites are untouchable . Currently there are 19 military sites in Hong Kong occupying 2 700 hectares of land . Do they need such a lot of land?
香港駐軍的人均面積較澳門多44倍，為甚麼要用那麼多土地？
The per capita area used by the Hong Kong Garrison is 44 times that of the military personnel in Macao . Why do they need so much land?
我們的土地是否太多？
Do we have too much land?
因此，這些全部都是實際上可以發展的土地。
So all these sites can actually be made available for development
這些全部都是寶貴的公共資源和土地，絕對可以利用，但政府不用，卻說要搞"明日大嶼"，既要填海，又說我們缺乏土地。
All these are valuable public resources and land that can absoultely be put to use . But the Government refuses to put them to use but proposes this Lantau Tomorrow which requires reclamation saying that we are short of land
主席，今天討論的房屋問題，我相信是議會或社會非常關注的題目。
President I believe the housing problem under discussion today is a matter of great concern to this Council and society
香港房屋嚴重短缺，導致樓價不斷攀升，租金亦是歷年最高。
The serious housing shortage in Hong Kong has continually pushed up property prices and the level of rents is also at a record high
涂謹申議員的議案提到要使用軍事用地、高爾夫球場、棕地或其他用地來建屋，這些都是大家過去提過的。
In his motion Mr James TO suggests using military sites golf courses brownfield sites and other sites for housing . These are suggestions that Members made in the past
我們不知道政府會接受當中的多少意見，不過，這是爭拗中的唯一辦法。
We do not know how many suggestions the Government will adopt but this is the only solution amid the contention
所以，我覺得大家應該審視一下，香港現時的土地供應究竟能否配合建屋目標，如果大家還在爭議，又能否解決香港人付託議會及政府的難題呢？
I thus hold that we should examine whether the present land supply can tie in with the housing supply targets . Can we solve the problem that Hong Kong people have entrusted this Council and the Government by our ongoing argument? . I am afraid we cannot
我本來不想就此議題發言，但希望透過今次的發言，呼籲各黨派好像上一項議題般，共謀發展，為香港的房屋努力，不要再引入更多政治爭拗，其一是收回軍事用地，還有收回高爾夫球場，有些人又不支持收回高爾夫球場，爭拗下去的結果只會是一場空，最後完全做不到房屋供應。
But I hope that my speech can call on Members of different parties and groups to find a way forward together for the housing in Hong Kong just like what we did in the previous motion . We should not introduce any more political arguments like resuming military sites or golf courses . These options do not have the support of all people
我最近與一些新界居民攀談，說到還有很多現成農地，特別是荒廢農地，足夠興建很多房屋。
Recently I talked to some members of the public living in the New Territories . They talked about the large amount of existing farmland especially the abandoned farmland which could be used for the construction of many housing units
我希望政府在今次的辯論中認真思考一 下，如何利用新界的土地，興建更多新房屋。
I hope the Government can seriously consider in this debate how to utilize the land in the New Territories to build more housing
相信新界區的居民不會反對政府收回土地，但必須進行充分的諮詢及解決現有土地或房屋的配套問題，我相信他們會全力支持的。
I believe the New Territories residents are not against land resumption by the Government as long as adequate prior consultations are done and the problem of ancillary facilities is solved . I believe they will fully support the Government
所以，藉此機會希望局長與新界鄉議局及新界區居民或業權人多作研究，如何進一步放寬賠償及安置的政策，令他們願意交出土地予政府發展房屋，解決現時面對"房屋荒"的問題。
Hence I wish to take this opportunity to call on the Secretary to explore this subject with members of the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk the New Territories residents or land owners and see how to further lower the thresholds for compensation and relocation so that they will be willing to hand over their sites for the Government to develop housing and address the present housing scarcity
不過，對於原議案提出7項短、中期增加房屋供應的建議，我大部分也有保留，因此提出修正案。
However given my reservation to most of the seven suggestions about increasing housing supply in the short - to - medium term set out in the original motion I have thus proposed an amendment
首先，就發展新界棕地和農地方面，土地供應專責小組去年年底發表報告，指出發展棕地是最多市民支持的選項；此外，發展新界農地的支持度亦相當高。
As a start in respect of developing brownfield sites and agricultural lands the Task Force on Land Supply has pointed out in its report published at the end of last year that developing brownfield sites was the option with the greatest support among the public . The option of developing agricultural lands in the New Territories has also gained a fairly high level of support meanwhile
可是，正如該報告所述，無論是發展棕地或農地，均涉及收地補償，重置棕地及農地作業，以及交通和社區設施配 套等複雜問題，並非手到拿來的選項，更不能只靠《收回土地條例》這個單一手段，便可很順利地收回大量棕地或農地用作建屋。
However as indicated in the report the development of brownfield sites or agricultural lands involve such complicated issues as land resumption and compensation reaccommodation of the operations on brownfield sites and agricultural lands as well as transportation and community facilities . It is not an option that will yield quick results . Nor can the resumption of swathes of brownfield sites or agricultural lands be achieved smoothly by relying solely on invoking the Lands Resumption Ordinance
我的修正案加入以公私營合作模式來發展棕地和農地，並不代表我"一刀切"地認為這種模式比強制收地好，我只是想增加一項選擇，讓政府可因應個別用地或項目而採用較有效的模式，多管齊下地盡快覓地建屋。
While I have incorporated in my amendment the idea of adopting a public - private partnership approach in the development of brownfield sites and agricultural lands it does not mean that I find such an approach superior over mandatory resumption in all cases . I simply wish to float an additional option so that the Government can adopt the more effective model for a specific site or project in a multi - pronged approach to expedite the identification of sites for housing construction
因此，對高球場用地不應存在雙重標準，不能不顧程序及不作深入研究。
In this connection a double standard where the proper procedures are ignored and an in - depth study denied should not be applied on FGC
有關迪士尼樂園第二期發展用地，我去年在立法會提出口頭質詢，對如此大幅的土地長期"曬太陽"表達不滿，但我同時認為，香港是法治的地方，須尊重合約精神，所以我要求政府先研究是否有權提早收回相關用地。
On the site reserved for the second phase development of Disneyland while I posed an oral question in this Council last year and expressed my frustration over the site being left idle under the sun for so long I also think that with Hong Kong being a place where the rule of law reigns the spirit of contract must be respected . Hence I requested the Government to study whether it has the right for early resumption of the site
對於原議案建議以該幅用地發展公營房屋，我亦有保留。
I also have reservations about developing public housing on the site as proposed in the original motion
第一，正如朱凱廸議員的修正案也提及，當中可能涉及噪音及空氣污染問題。
First there could be noise and air pollution problems as pointed out in Mr CHU Hoi - dicks amendment
第二，在交通及社區配套方面，除非是落實"明日大嶼願景"，以鐵路及公路接通新界西北、大嶼山、中部水域人工島及港島北，否則相關用地未必適合用作高密度房屋發展。
Second in terms of transport and community facilities unless links of railway and road between the Northwest New Territories Lantau Island the proposed artificial islands in the central waters and Hong Kong Island have been established with the implementation of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision the site may not be suitable for high - density housing development
原議案第五點建議落實"未補價資助出售房屋出租計劃"。
Point 5 of the original motion proposes that the Letting Scheme for Subsidised Sale Developments with Premium Unpaid be effected
政府建議只容許居屋業主出租單位一部分或一間房，但原議案及部分修正案建議探討整間屋出租，我不能贊同這一點。
While owners of Home Ownership Schemes HOS flats are allowed to let part or a room of their flats under the government proposal the original motion and some of the amendments propose a study on the possibility of letting entire flats
我認為，無論是香港房屋協會或香港房屋委員會轄下的資助出售房屋，本身便是一項社會福利，是納稅人用公帑補貼有需要人士買樓。
I cannot agree to such a suggestion . In my view subsidized sale flats―whether under the Hong Kong Housing Society or the Hong Kong Housing Authority HA―are in themselves a form of social benefit in which those in need are being subsidized for buying flats with public money from taxpayers
如有關業主已另有合適居所，無論是購置或租住了另一單位，還是已移民，均代表他本身已有能力滿足住屋需要，不再需要政府及納稅人協助，按道理便應退出該單位，讓其他更有需要的人士入住，不應讓他把整個資助出售單位出租，賺取租金。
If the owners concerned have already secured proper accommodation―be it acquired or rented―elsewhere or emigrated they are presumably capable of meeting their housing needs on their own without asking the Government and taxpayers for help . It stands to reason that instead of being allowed to rent out entire subsidized sale flats and pocket the rentals they should relinquish their flats so that those who are more in need can move in
這正是我提出設立資助出售房屋回購機制的原因。
This is precisely the reasoning behind my proposal to establish a buyback mechanism for subsidized sale flats
現時無論是居屋、綠表置居計劃、港人首次置業先導項目，以至舊有的夾心階層住屋計劃，業主在禁售期完結及補地價後，可把單位於私人市場放售，每賣出1間，便代表整體資助房屋庫存減少1間。
At present owners of subsidized sale flats―whether under HOS the Green Form Subsidized Home Ownership Scheme the Starter Homes Pilot Scheme for Hong Kong Residents or the now obsolete Sandwich Class Housing Scheme―can freely put their flats up for sale in the private market after paying the relevant premium at the end of the alienation restriction period
所以，我建議將來新建的資助出售房屋，應由政府和房委會回購，經過翻新後再售予合資格的家庭，以維持資助房屋的供應量。
A flat sold in such a way represents a corresponding reduction in the total stock of subsidized sale flats . Hence I suggest that newly constructed subsidized sale flats in future should be bought back by the Government and HA and resold to eligible households after refurbishment so that the supply of subsidized housing can be maintained
除了供應問題亦涉及公平問題，現時居屋中籤比中六合彩更難，容許資助出售房屋業主將單位私人轉售，不論是補足地價抑或未補地價售予綠表或白表申請者，原業主大多會獲利，因為當中必有某個水平的中籤溢價。
Apart from the issue of supply there is also the issue of fairness . It is currently more difficult to strike it lucky in a ballot draw for HOS flats than win the Mark Six Lottery . Allowing owners of subsidized sale flats to resell their units in private―whether doing so with the relevant premium fully paid or selling to Green Form or White Form applicants without paying the premium―will in most cases enrich the original owners as a certain level of premium for winning the draw will inevitably be involved
至於何謂合理的回購價，我初步建議為買入價加上等同相關年份平均樓價升幅的金額，讓原業主可取回合理的資產增值回報。
As for what qualifies as a reasonable buyback rate I initially propose a sum equivalent to the average appreciation of house prices over the relevant period on top of the purchase price which would allow an original owner to make a reasonable return in asset appreciation
我希望大家支持這個由政府回購的原則，其他細節日後可再詳細討論。
I hope Members will support such a principle of government buyback specifics of which can be discussed in detail in the future
由於時間關係，我會留待其他場合解說相關建議的詳情，在此不贅。
Due to time constraint I will explain the details of this proposal on other occasions and will not go into them now
我修正案的另一項建議是全方位增建過渡性房屋，包括善用閒置政府用地、空置校舍，以及現有公共屋邨的天台、儲物室和"空格位"等，這些建議在其他修正案也有提及，就留待其他同事說明。
Another proposal in my amendment is to increase transitional housing on all fronts including optimizing the use of among others idle government sites vacant school premises and the rooftops storerooms and empty bays in existing public housing estates . Since similar suggestions have also been made in other amendments I shall leave the explanation to other colleagues
我現在想集中談談要求政府制訂措施，鼓勵私人業主將閒置農地改作過渡性房屋的建議。
I now wish to focus my discussion on the proposal which calls for the Government to formulate measures for encouraging private landowners to convert idle agricultural lands into transitional housing
今年施政報告宣布重推及優化活化工廈政策，內容包括容許把整幢工廈或部分樓層改作過渡性房屋，我支持這一點。
It is announced in the latest Policy Address that measures to revitalize industrial buildings will be relaunched and enhanced . Such measures include allowing the wholesale conversion or partial conversion of several floors of industrial buildings for transitional housing which is an idea I support
然而，相對於工業大廈，不少私人閒置農地位置更方便，如獲政府適當的政策配合，其實可以更適合、更便宜、更快供興建過渡性房屋。
That said comparing with industrial buildings many of the idle agricultural lands in private hands are more conveniently located . Backed by the right policies from the Government these lands could as a matter of fact be more suitable and more readily and cheaply available for transitional housing construction
假如政府有措施讓這些業主可以快捷、合法地建成過渡性房屋，並規定他們把部分單位交回政府或房委會編配給有需要人士，例如長期輪候公屋或現時繳交昂貴租金的"劏房"家庭，就可達致多贏局面，我希望政府能認真考慮這建議。
A multi - win situation could be achieved if the Government puts in place measures to facilitate the swift and legal construction of transitional housing by these landowners and requires them to hand over part of the units to the Government or HA for allocation to those in need such as families being waitlisted for public housing for an extended period of time or those living in subdivided units and paying exorbitant rentals . I hope the Government can give serious consideration to this proposal
主席，本港樓價高企不下，房屋嚴重供不應求，這已成為最嚴峻、最迫切的民生問題。
President property prices in Hong Kong have remained high and the supply of housing cannot meet the demand . This has become the direst and most pressing problem in peoples livelihood
根據政府的統計，去年私人住宅售價已經較1997年的高峰期高出超過1倍。
According to the Governments survey the prices of private residential properties last year were more than double of those in the peak in 1997
在去年第三季度，市民的置業購買力指數，即按揭供款相對住戶入息中位數的比例，惡化至74%，大幅高於1998年至2017年44%的平均數。
In the third quarter of last year the publics home purchase affordability ratio that is the ratio of mortgage payment to the median income of households deteriorated to 74 % much higher than the long - term average of 44 % over 1998 - 2017
超過15萬宗輪候公屋個案的平均輪候時間長達5.5年，不僅引致市民生活質素嚴重倒退，更影響香港經濟成長和社會長治久安。
The average waiting time for over 150 000 public housing applications is 5.5 years . Not only has this led to serious deterioration in the quality of life of the public even the economic growth and social stability of Hong Kong have been adversely affected
房屋問題的根源是土地短缺。
The root cause of the housing problem is land shortage
有見及此，特區政府近數年推出了優化土地供應策略，提出包括在維多利亞港以外填海、發展岩洞和善用棕地等措施。
In view of this the SAR Government has been implementing a streamlined land supply strategy in recent years by proposing such measures as carrying out reclamation outside the Victoria Harbour developing caverns making optimal use of brownfield sites and so on
但是，由於利益糾纏不清，以及複雜漫長的收地、賠償程序，令土地開發工作舉步維艱。
However the intricate network of interests and complicated and prolonged land resumption and compensation processes have made the task of land development very slow and difficult
涂謹申議員今天的議案，是想通過一些中短期的措施，增加公共房屋供應，這個出發點相信沒有人會反對。
The motion proposed by Mr James TO today seeks to increase the supply of public housing through short - term and medium - term measures . I believe no one would object to such an aim
然而，在議案提出的7項措施之中，除了第五點有關"未補價資助出售房屋出租計劃"的措施外，其餘都是一些近年不斷重複的概念性議題，並不具備中短期的可操作性。
However among the seven measures put forward in the motion apart from the measure in point 5 related to the Letting Scheme for Subsidised Sale Developments with Premium Unpaid the others are all conceptual topics that have been raised repeatedly in recent years but they are not operable in the short or medium terms
當中一些措施更會面對賠償、法律訴訟、環境評估等挑戰，亦有一些措施經過特區政府研究多年後仍然毫無寸進。
Some of these measures will even encounter such challenges as compensation claims lawsuits environmental assessments and so on and some of the measures have been studied by the SAR Government for years without the slightest progress being made
可見解決本港土地短缺問題是沒有快速通道的。
It can thus be seen that there is no fast - track in solving the problem of land shortage in Hong Kong
主席，政府已經表明未來新的房屋供應將會以公私營比例為7：3來規劃。
President the Government has made it clear that when planning for new housing supply in the future the ratio of public housing to private housing will be 7col3
如果可以效法新加坡政府的做法，把公營及私營房屋兩個市場分開，就有望令本港市民未來的住屋階梯更明確。
If we can follow the measure of segregating public housing and private housing into two markets adopted by the Singaporean Government we can expect to see more distinct housing ladders for the Hong Kong public in the future
但是，事實上，本港的土地儲備，包括今天議案中提及部分解決措施涉及的土地，絕大部分都集中在新界。
In fact however the land reserve in Hong Kong including the land for some of the countermeasures mentioned in the motion today is overwhelmingly concentrated in the New Territories
在港英政府年代，當時政府認為與擁有大量土地的原居民協商並不容易，只能通過不斷填海打造新市鎮來配合香港的發展，同時推出丁屋政策，以安撫受影響的新界原居民。
In the British - Hong Kong era the Government believed that it was no easy task to discuss with the indigenous residents about the ownership of a large amount of land so it could only carry out reclamation continually to create new towns to dovetail with Hong Kongs development . At the same time it introduced the New Territories small house policy to appease the affected indigenous residents of the New Territories
然而，直至今天，情況還看不到有根本的變化，甚至可以說是更複雜。
However up to now no fundamental change in the situation can be seen and it can even be said that the situation has become more complicated
除了很多原居民在使用土地的過程中利益錯綜複雜外，還涉及囤集土地的各類人士，以及不希望進行大型發展的非原居民，令人覺得覓地往往費時失事，避之則吉。
Apart from the intricate web of interests involved in the use of land by many indigenous residents various types of people hoarding land and non - indigenous villagers not wishing to see any large - scale development are also involved . It is therefore felt that finding land is often a time - consuming business getting nowhere that should best be avoided
由於土地叫價高，開發成本亦相當高昂，以致樓價不斷被推高。
Since the asking prices of land are high and the costs of development are also quite high property prices are driven up continually
去年的施政報告提出要多管齊下，包括"明日大嶼願景"、發展新界棕地、土地共享先導計劃、活化工廈，以及精簡管治等。
The Policy Address last year proposed a multi - pronged approach comprising measures such as the Lantau Tomorrow Vision the development of brownfield sites in the New Territories the Land Sharing Pilot Scheme the revitalisation of industrial buildings streamlining control and so on
但是，根本的出路只有大面積的填海造地，突破供給側的限制，建設新型城區。
However the only fundamental way out is to reclaim large areas of land from the sea to bring about a breakthrough in supply and build a modern urban area
填海造地可發揮最大限度的主動性和主導性，爭取用約10至15年時間，徹底解決港人的居住難題。
Reclaiming land from the sea will make it possible to take the greatest degree of initiative and agression and strive to solve the housing problem of Hong Kong people in about 10 to15 years time
香港多年來合共有超過7,000公頃的填海經驗，填海技術和安全性毋庸置疑。
Over the years Hong Kong has gained experience from reclaiming a total of 7 000 hectares of land from the sea so the reclamation techniques and safety are beyond doubt
我重申一個觀點，填一個人工島，只須經過一次環評的檢核、一次交通規劃、一次法律訴訟，可謂事半功倍。
Let me reiterate one point In creating an artificial island by reclamation only one environmental assessment one transport planning and one lawsuit are necessary so it is double output with half input
但是，如果把人工島上數百幢樓房改為在新界農地、棕地、高爾夫球場上興建，此處興建10幢，那處興建8幢，便須分別面對數十個甚至逾100個環評報告、法律訴訟個案、交通規劃，曠日持久，建屋速度緩慢，事倍功半。
However if the hundreds of residential buildings on the artificial island are built on agricultural lands in the New Territories brownfield sites and golf course with 10 blocks built here and eight blocks elsewhere it will be necessary to deal with dozens and even over 100 environment assessment reports lawsuits and transport planning . These will be long - drawn - out exercises that will slow down the pace of housing construction with double input for half output
雖然說大面積填海是解決本港土地短缺最徹底的辦法，但特區政府未來要推進這個藍圖，也要爭取更多支持。
Although it is said that extensive reclamation is the most thorough way to resolve land shortage in Hong Kong if the SAR Government wants to take forward this blueprint in the future it has to lobby for greater support
舉例而言，儘管中部水 域的生態敏感度較低，也要切實進行嚴謹的環境評核工作，採取新技術手段把影響降到最低。
For example although the ecological sensitivity of the central waters is lower it is still necessary to carry out stringent environment assessments in earnest and adopt new technical measures to reduce the impact to a minimum
與此同時，應該進一步細化方案和規劃設計，完善長遠房屋策略，把房屋供應，尤其是公共房屋的供應落實到位，讓市民及年青一代看到希望。
Meanwhile the details of the proposal and planning design should be worked out and the long - term housing strategy should be refined so that housing supply in particular the supply of public housing can materialize and reach its intended users for the public and younger generation to see hope
此外，還要加快細化相關的財政安排，明確釐定項目的總投資額及每年須攤分的金額，給市民和立法會一個好的交代。
In addition it is also necessary to work out the details of the relevant financial arrangements by setting the total amount of investment in the project and the amounts to be borne each year clearly so as to give the public and the Legislative Council a proper account
主席，今天議案所提出的解決措施，相信將之由概念變為可操作方案需時，並不能夠在短期內解決土地和房屋供應的問題。
President it is believed that it will take time to turn the countermeasures proposed in the motion today from concepts into operable proposals so they cannot solve the problem of land and housing supply in the short term
反之，香港應該立即啟動長遠可行的解決辦法，並且盡快落實，讓方案在數年後由長期變為中短期方案。
Instead Hong Kong should put the long - term feasible solutions into action immediately and implement them as soon as possible so that the proposal can turn from a long - term one into a medium - term or short - term one after a few years
否則，在房屋供不應求的問題上，只會不斷出現議而不決的情況，嚴重窒礙香港的長遠發展，以及市民的生活質素。
Otherwise on the problem of an inadequate supply of housing the situation of having discussions without making decisions will recur all the time thus seriously affecting Hong Kongs long - term development and the publics quality of life
政府在本月向立法會提交的首份正式官方文件是有關長遠房屋策略督導委員會的討論，當中把公營房屋的定義變為公屋/綠表置居計劃，這真的令我們對於公屋或租置公共房屋僅餘的理解變得更不倫不類。
The first official paper tabled by the Government to the Legislative Council this month is about discussions relating to the the Long Term Housing Strategy Steering Committee . In this paper the definition of public housing is revised to be public rental housing PRHGreen Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GSH and this really makes PRH or public rental units for sale even weirder in our understanding
第一，這明顯在公眾掌握何謂公營房屋或公屋數量的資訊方面，有一種魚目混珠甚至欺瞞大眾之嫌。
First from a perspective of the information obtained by the public on the production volume of public housing or the number of PRH units this has obviously aroused suspicion that the Government seeks to fish in troubled waters and even deceive the public . The Government has revised the public housing ratio to a publicprivate split of 7col3
事實上，這在殖民地政府過渡1997年之前的最後數年亦曾經出現。
In fact the same also happened in the last few years of the colonial government in the run - up to 1997
當年把公屋變為租置房屋出售，已經是第一步令本港公屋政策變得不倫不類。
Back then PRH units were put up for sale and that was the first step taken to make the public housing policy of Hong Kong neither fish nor fowl
在1,000戶公屋居民中，最少有二三百戶是長者，他們要步行數十層樓梯回家，現時又天氣轉冷，當然，中電集團很好，安排了兩個臨時掣櫃，結果怎樣呢？
Of the 1 000 PRH households there at least 200 or 300 are elderly households and they have to climb dozens of flights of stairs in order to go home . Weather is getting cold now and of course the CLP Group was very good in arranging for the provision of two temporary switch boards . What is the result?
這是公屋政策，也是公營房屋，這棟樓宇是房署的，但現時居民卻要直接與中電商討可否多提供一個掣櫃，更要尋求議員的協助。
This concerns the public housing policy and these units are public housing units not to mention that this is a building of HD . But now the residents have to negotiate with CLP directly on the provision of an additional switch board . What is more they even have to turn to Members of this Council for assistance
反過來說，市民可能未必有能力負擔市場上的樓宇，於是便要進入公營房屋的網絡，但是，以私營房屋的處理或基本上對數據的了解而言，政府是否真的詳細認清當中的真相呢？
On the other hand the public may not have the means to afford housing in the market and this is why they have to enter the public housing network . If the problem is tackled by way of private housing or when it comes to the basic understanding of the statistics does the Government have a full detailed picture of the truth?
舉例說，"林鄭"去年年中說要實施空置稅，大眾的反應是這可有效處理空置率的問題，但那只是針對一手樓宇的空置稅。
For instance Carrie LAM said in the middle of last year that a vacancy tax would be imposed . The public response is that this can effectively address the problem concerning the vacancy rate . But that is only a vacancy tax on first - hand properties
代理主席，公營房屋政策的短缺問題不在於公營房屋是否足夠，而是為何在整體的房屋政策下，市民要依賴公營房屋來生活或應付基本的生存需要？
Deputy President the problem of a shortage in the context of the public housing policy is not about the adequacy of the provision of public housing units . The problem is why under the overall housing policy members of the public have to rely on public housing in their living or to meet the basic needs of living
大家清楚看到，自從去年政府重推居者有其屋，以至近日接受申請的市區重建局"港人首置上車盤"均出現"爭崩頭"的情況。
We can see clearly the fierce competition for housing flats in the Home Ownership Scheme re - launched last year and the Urban Renewal Authoritys Starter Homes Scheme for Hong Kong Residents which is open for application recently
從80後、90後年青一代爭相認購的現象可見，港人對房屋的需求是何等殷切，對於擁有一個安樂窩是何等渴望。
From the phenomenon that the younger generation such as the post - 80s and post - 90s vies for subscription we can see how keen the housing demand of Hong Kong people is and how desperately they yearn for a comfortable home
