"It is so ironic.”
“Wow,It perfectly shows us what is LIFE IS LIKE A GAME!”
Many of the netizen perceive that Hong Kong is in a terrible circumstance, and it seems there is no way out. Even they do not know whether they can be delight should be delighted or sad about Hong Kong becomes becoming one of the expensive places. It is no doubt that the property prices are ridiculous and horrbily high in Hong Kong, having a property only owning a property alone is a unreachable dream for most fresh graduate or youngster nowadays. Moreover, the prices are still increasing ('still on the rise' would be a better term, but there is no grammatical error as is), but only a small amount of salary can be earn (? What do you mean here?). It is so hard to save such a huge amount of money each month and maybe you should work for your entire life to repay the property loan.
Consequently, it is so true that Monopoly board game can successfully reveal us how evils of developer hegemony. and remind us how terrible of an unbalance between the rich and the poor.
