One hundred and eighty units. The Housing Bureau put that figure in its relocation offer to shoebox evictees this week, without attaching any count of units still in enforcement backlog.

The offer sits in the same filing week as a proposal to exempt offshore fund managers from income tax on fee income, a HK$2 billion tokenized bond issuance, and the International Commercial Court framework. None of those required a count of beneficiaries. The civil service bell-curve proposal, which drew its own debate in the Post on Tuesday, would apply forced ranking to the departments (including Housing) that shoebox enforcement depends on. John Lee signed trade MOUs in Astana that same day; the 180 units were not on the Kazakhstan agenda.
