So the cost of an apartment is $4000 and medium income for new employees is $10000 according to the article.

Am I missing something - that seems more affordable than most major metropolitan areas. With two incomes that would be more than enough.



> [for] a single unit within a subdivided flat

that's around 100-200 sq. ft.


I could bet $4000 ( $510 USD ) that it is not 100-200 Sq. Feet.

$4000 tends to get you Sub 100 Sq Feet Space.


The numbers you cite are in Hong Kong dollar, so 400 USD for an extremely small flat with no windows, and 1000 USD income, which really is not much when you factor basic necessities.


It's the cost of a bed in a subdivided apartment, not an apartment itself.
