Hong Kong housing: City's plan to improve tiny flats worries tenants

Hong Kong is one of the most expensive places to live in the world.
220,000 of the city’s poorest people live in cramped apartments, many smaller than a car parking space.
Under instruction from Beijing, the city’s leader is planning to introduce new regulations to get rid of tiny dwellings by 2049.
But tenants are worried that will lead to higher rents and fewer homes.

Al Jazeera’s Laura Westbrook reports from Hong Kong.
