Seems like solid evidence that you can't simply "densify" your way out of high prices? Bloomberg says the reason is developers trying to cover the cost of land. Something doesn't add up...



Actually HK has plenty of buildable land in the New Territories and elsewhere, but the real estate tycoons that run the whole show obviously aren't going to allow competition without first getting their cut.


Also, doesn't HK have a policy against tearing down green spaces? Astonishingly, 70% of the dragon islands is forest, the last I read.
