Editor's Note:
An overview of shabby partitioned flats in Hung Hom, an area of Kowloon in Hong Kong. The decades-old flats, epitomizing deep-rooted housing issues haunting locals, are set to be pulled down.

Tenants of the sub-divided flats also complain that the redevelopment plan will make housing costs unaffordable for them.
