Grosvenor Place, Repulse Bay



some of the best beaches in Hong Kong are located on the south side of the island, the Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay, South Bay, Stanley Bay...etc. and just when you think you can get away from the noise and crowd from the city, there you are! BANG! BANG! BANG! luxurious highrises towering over the beaches. the external facade for this building was actually not bad, and the developer is just doing what he is allowed to do within the law, i.e. maximize the development potential. but is the local governement really running out of ideas of where to get their resources and need to start invading the rural skyline.

am not against the development of the rural area if we really need extra housing. but the dilema is do you want a lower income tax, in the expense of the country side, or as the current situation stands, a higher income tax, but less invasion into the rural area. isn't there any other options available?
