The Shek Kip Mei resettlement blocks were also very crowded but less cramped than the squatters, two families both share a 120 square feet apartment, although the rental cost was only 10 dollars, it was a lot of money back in the days. Residents with higher incomes lived in subdivided buildings which were better in comparison. This brings us back to January, 1958 when the first low cost rental housing estate, North Point was built by Hong Kong Authority. They showed a good design because they offered a famous designer and usually a public housing wouldn't have a balcony or their own bathroom and even a better layout.
