One solution Hong Kong people hope to seek is for the government to provide more affordable homes. As of 2014, Hong kong plan to use Long Term Housing Strategy policy which will build 28,000 housing units each year for the next 10 years However, people cannot rely on the government because they do not know any news, date, or time when they will consider giving out the funded housing. To combat this situation, people are finding new ways to live.

Individuals came up with an inventive way to live for cheaper by making bunkers small and compact but yet it gives people enough privacy to live comfortably.  Instead of living in “coffin housing” this is an improvement called “capsule housing.” The rent for these capsules compares to one of the coffin ones or even less.

This is only a short-term solution to the long lasting problem of the housing crisis in Hong Kong.
