The latest Hong Kong Chief Executive, John Lee Ka-chiu, declared before he took office, “There are many issues in Hong Kong, let’s solve one each day. I will also prioritize our housing issues as soon as I am sworn in.”

The general public has high expectations of Lee. A youth organization released a study report on June 3, 2022, “Young Hongkongers’ Vision for Hong Kong’s Future.” It shows that the issue of youth housing has become the top issue that young people most expect the new chief to resolve first.
