4Housing in Hong Kong is the most expensive and least affordable in the world, according to the latest Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey.Ny trano fonenana ao Hong Kong no faran'izay lafo indrindra sy tsy mora idirana eto an-tany, araka ny Fanadihadiana farany Nataon'ny “Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey” - fanadihadiana atao isan-taona erantany momba ny fahafahana mahazo trano fonenana .
5With the housing prices on average 17 times annual income, 88 percent of young people aged 19 to 29 has lost the hope that they could afford having an apartment of their own.Miaraka amin'ny saran'ny trano fonenana efa ho im-17 avo heny amin'ny vola miditra isan-taona, very fanantenana ny amin'ny hahafahany mahazo efitrano ho azy ireo ny tanora eo anelanelan'ny 19 sy 29 taona.

7Though the figures look promising in a city with highly affordable daily necessities, what truly eats up Hong Kongers' income is housing.Na dia toa mahavelom-bolo aza ireo tarehimarika ao amin'ity tanàna iray manana ny zavatra ilaina amin'ny fiainana andavanandro amin'ny vidiny mora ity, dia ny resaka trano fonenana no tena mihinana ny vola miditra amin'ireo mponina ao Hong Kong.
8A 400-square-foot property in Tai Po, a suburban district in the New Territories, goes for approximately HK $4.68 million, 200 times the median domestic household income.Tany iray mirefy 37 metatra toradroa (400-square-foot) ao Tai Po, distrika iray mihataka ny renivohitra any amin'ireo Faritany Vaovao, dia tonga hatrany amin'ny HK $4.68 tapitrisa, in-200 avo heny amin'ny salan'ny vola miditra isan-tokantrano.
9In other words, an average family would have to spend all of their income for 16.5 years to buy one of the cheapest properties in town.Amin'ny teny hafa, ny fianakaviana salantsalany iray dia mety handany ny vola niditra tamin'ny nandritry ny 16 taona sy tapany hividianana iray amin'ireo tany mora indrindra ao an-tanàna.
10Even if an individual were to win the 1st division prize in the city's biggest lottery game, the Mark Six, the prize money might not manage to cover a humble apartment if he or she is unlucky and has to share the winnings with others.Na ohatra aza ny olona iray ka avy nahazo ny laharana voalohany tamin'ny loka fanome amin'ilay lalao fisarihana lehibe indrindra ao an-tanàna, ny Mark Six, mety tsy hahavita akory hividianana efitrano sahaza ilay vola azo tamin'ny loka raha toa izy ratsy vintana mila mifampizara ny lokany amin'olona hafa.
11The 1st division prize is around HK $8 million, but if you have to share with another person, you only get half the amount.Eo amin'ny HK $8 tapitrisa eo ilay loka voalohany, saingy raha toa ianao tsy maintsy hifampizara amin'olona hafa, ny antsasany ihany no anjaranao .
12QC, a columnist from citizen media platform inmediahk.net, shared the feeling of hopelessness on the rocket-high property price:QC, mpanao gazety mpanoratra fandalinana ao amin'ny sehatra median'olontsotra inmediahk.net, nizara ny fahatsapana ho very fanantenana momba ny fidangan'ny vidim-pananana :
13Hong Kong has entered an era when winning Mark Six doesn't mean you can buy a property.Miditra amin'ny vanim-potoana iray i Hong Kong, izay tsy midika intsony fa ho afaka hividy fananana ianao raha nahazo ny Mark Six.
14Even if you are lucky enough to win against the odds of one in 139 million, if the jackpot isn't just for you, the prize money might not be enough to buy an apartment.Na somary tsara vintana aza ianao ka tafavoaka ho mpandresy avy ao anatin'ireo 139 tapitrisa, raha tsy natao ho anao irery ilay volabe, mety tsy ho ampy hividianana efitrano iray akory ilay vola azo.
15[…] In the past few decades, Hong Kongers used to believe that winning Mark Six prizes can change their life even if hope was slim.[…] Tao anatin'ny folo taona vitsy lasa, efa nahazatra ireo mponina ao Hong Kong ny nino fa afaka hanova ny fiainan-dry zareo ny fahazoana ny loka Mark Six, na dia ambivitra kely aza ny fanantenana.
16But such hope does not even exist now.Saingy tsy misy intsony ny fanantenana tahaka io amin'izao fotoana izao.
17Tse Kwun Tung, another columnist from inmediahk.net, listed three necessary conditions for young people to have an apartment of their own:Tse Kwun Tung, mpanao gazety iray hafa avy ao amin'ny inmediahk.net, nanao lisitra ireo fepetra telo ilain‘ireo tanora mba hahazoana efitrano ho azy manokana :
18If you want to buy an apartment, you have to pass three challenges: First, you need to save HK $3,000 every month; second, you need to have a partner [to share the burden of the monthly mortgage]; third, there must be a great drop in the property price.Raha te-hividy trano iray ho anao ianao, dia fanamby telo no tsy maintsy atrehanao : Voalohany, ilainao ny manangona HK $3,000 isam-bolana; faharoa, ilainao ny manana namana [hiaraka mizaka ny vesatry ny antoka aloa isam-bolana]; fahatelo, tsy maintsy misy fidinana goavana amin'ny vidin-trano.
19If you can't fulfill the first two challenges, don't dream about buying apartment.Raha tsy vitanao ny manatanteraka ireo fanamby roa voalohany, aza manonofy ny hividy trano.
20If you have passed the first two challenges, you can wait for the day when the property price jumps off a cliff.Raha vitanao ny nandingana ireo fanamby roa voalohany, afaka miandrandra ilay andro hitontonganan'ny vidin-trano ianao.
21But others believed there are a lot more challenges than the three:Saingy ny hafa mino fa mbola misy maro lavitra fa tsy telo monja ny fanamby :
22There are still many other challenges: not becoming unemployed, not divorcing, not having a baby, not getting sick, no rising property prices…Mbola misy marobe ny fanamby: tsy very asa, tsy nisara-bady, tsy niteraka, tsy marary, tsy misy fisondrotam-bidin'ny trano…
23Another comment disagreed with the idea of finding a partner to share the mortgage:Fanehoankevitra iray no tsy manaiky ny hevitra momba ilay fitadiavana olona hifampizaràna ny antoka aloa isam-bolana:
24If you find a partner, you need to save up money for marriage; after marriage, you need to support three families.Raha mahita olona iarahana ianao, dia mila manangona vola koa ho an'ny fampakarambady; aorian'ny fampakarambady, mila manohana fianakaviana telo ianao.
25Can you save any money?Afaka ny hanangona vola amin'izany ve ianao?
26Even if so, how much can you save?Raha eny, ohatrinona no ho vitanao angonina?

28When Lau Ming-Wai, the son of a local tycoon, advised that if young people his age spend less money on movies and travel to Japan, they would be able to buy an apartment, is not hard to imagine why netizens trashed his advice.Rehefa nanome torohevitra i Lau Ming-Wai, zanakalahin'ny mpanakarem-be iray ao an-toerana, hoe raha toa ny tanora amin'ny taonany mandany volakely amin'ny resaka sarimihetsika sy fivahinianana any Japana, mety ho afaka hividy efitrano iray ihany ry zareo, tsy sarotra ny mahazo an-tsaina ny antony nanarian'ireo mpisera ety anaty aterineto ny toroheviny.
29From the comments section of Passion Times' report:Avy ao amin'ny ampahany natao hanehoana hevitra ao amin'ny tatitry ny Passion Times :
30In my whole life I have only traveled once, which was to Thailand more than 10 years ago.Teo amin'ny androm-piainako manontolo dia indray mandeha ihany aho no nivahiny tany ivelany, izay tao Thailand, efa ho folo taona mahery lasa izay.
31My parents don't go traveling at all.Tsy mba handeha hivahiny any ivelany mihitsy ny ray aman-dreniko.
32There are people like me who don't go to Japan and do work hard and save money, but we still cannot afford a property.Misy ireo olona mitovy amiko no tsy mandeha any Japana ary tena miasa mafy sy manangona vola, saingy tsy mbola vitanay foana ny mividy tany na trano.
33Assuming one travels to Japan twice a year, not going to Japan means H $20,000 additional savings annually; assuming one watches two movies a week and each movie costs HK $100, not watching movies at all means HK $10,400 additional saving annually.Ny filazana fa mahavita mivahiny any Japana indroa isan-taona, midika fa manana tahiry H $20,000 amboniny isan-taona ny tsy fandehanana any Japana; ny filazàna fa mijery sarimihetsika roa isankerinandro ny olona iray ka andoavany HK $100 ny iray amin'izany, ahavitana manangona HK $10,400 fanampiny isan-taona ny tsy fijerena izany mihitsy.
34If the property costs HK $3,000,000, you just need to save money for 98 years.Raha toa ny tany na trano ka mitentina HK $3,000,000, dia mila fotsiny ianao manangona vola mandritry ny 98 taona.
35What a practical suggestion!Torohevitra azo ampiharina tsara kosa an!
36Hoping for a big drop in the home prices may be as unrealistic as Lau's advice, according to experts.Mety ho nofinofy tsy azo tanterahana ny fanantenana ny hisian'ny fitontonganan'ny vidin-trano araka ny torohevitr'i Lau, hoy ireo manampahaizana manokana.
37The city's property market not only serves local demand but also a large number of wealthy mainland Chinese investors.Tsy hoe natao ho an'ireo tinady eo an-toerana ihany ny tsenan'ny fananan-tany sy trano ao an-tanàna fa koa ho an'ireo shinoa marobe mpanankarena mpampiasa vola avy any amin'ny tanibe.
38Future land supply will be challenging due to political stagnancy as well as environmental and preservation concerns.Ny tolotra momba ny tany amin'ny hoavy dia hiatrika fanamby noho ny fitobohan'ny ara-politika, hatramin'ireo olana momba ny tontolo iainana sy ny fitahirizana azy.

40When Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying was running his election campaign in 2012, he vowed to keep prices low, but they continue to rocket up in the past two years.Fony nihazakazaka nanao ny fampielezankeviny hofidiana i Leung Chun-ying, Filoha Mpanatanteraka, dia nivoady ny hitazonaireny sàrany ireny ho ambany, saingy mitohy manaka-danitra izy ireny tato anatin'ny roa taona farany teo.
41As Hong Kong politics are still dominated by the wealthiest, it is unlikely that policies that go against their interests will become reality anytime soon.Satria mbola ireo mpanakarem-be no mifehy ny politikan'i Hong Kong, toa tsy ho ato anaty fotoana fohy mihitsy no ho teraka ny politika hifanohitra amin'ny tombontsoan-dry zareo.
