Cheap housing in Wan Chai for the single pilot in HKG
 

Cheap Housing
 

Ideal for all the expats flocking to HKG to fly for Cathay on local terms and the ridiculous housing allowance.

CHEAP HOUSING IN MID-LEVELS

Or three Pilots sharing a 3 bedroom apartment in Mid-levels and living comfortably for the same money.

What's the problem?

142 square feet ?

Just under 12 feet by 12 feet?

Or in the rest of the world...

13.2 square metres

3.6 metres by 3.6 metres

My bed is a queen size so around 34 square feet.

Sounds appealing where do I sign?

No wonder there are no internal photos, could not fit a camera and person in at the same time.

My bed is a queen size so around 68 square feet.

Damn you have a big bed.

Work in a cockpit sleep in a cockpit. I'm luvin it. :ok:

There is an alternative. Use shipping containers for temporary housing, Hong Kong social welfare group urges | South China Morning Post

I think there will be hourly rates as well.....considering the geographic location , the one bedroom/one bathroom arrangement and the entity behind it (Swire)....

Same size as a prison cell?

Housing
 

Better yet and already set up for occupants.

I think there are still some "under-utilized" Vietnamese Refugee camps on some of the islands. Just need a quick dust off, stock up on MRE's and voila. :ok:

The little missus might not be so keen however it's only a matter of time before most of us get deported anyway.....:hmm:

With those maths I do! Try again...

Nice apartment
 

If only we could get the landlord to remove those bars on the window. :O

Wan Chai? I thought the OP was joking!
You could probably recover your rent with short term lets whilst off on trips :E

Flex88 the bars are there to keep out the burglars and child proof the room, preventing your precious ones (kids) from falling out of the window.. :E

Dan Buster... you forgot the metal/black BIG Rimowa flight case. to store the Ubber sunglasses.

I can imagine the Tinder-dwelling juniors' conversation after a positive Tinder swipe....... "So can we go back to your place?"

What, are you 18, and this is first year of Uni?

Oh wait...

FFS, adults, who are professionals, must be able to afford their own living space.

I wonder if Mark H would like to spend a night in one of these prison cells? Where have we allowed ourselves to descend to. What happens if you want a family?

....the really amusing (and ultimately very sad) fact is that the approximate monthly rent on one of these is MORE than the HKPA. So a Swire entity is admitting through their own market pricing that a pilot in CX isn't even worth 142 sq ft of living space. Where have we descended to indeed....? :ooh:

Why should Swire care? They are still joining in droves.

They are joining in droves, it's a young man/woman's gig nowadays, times have changed.

Share an apartment in Mid-levels and enjoy life!
