A street poll conducted by the Property Post reveals that confidence in the property market and the general economic situation has not been fully restored.

'There is more liveliness in the city as I walk through streets of Causeway Bay. More people are lining up outside new property sites. I have lived in Tai Koo Shing for 20 years and have no intention of moving. But I notice that my friends are getting interested in stocks and properties again.'
Yeung Man-wa, 52, housewife
'The general economic environment has improved especially after the Article 23 legislation was withdrawn. I live near The Orchards in Quarry Bay and people are feverishly queuing up outside it. The property market has recovered slightly but the price level is lower than eight or nine years ago. I would not buy a new flat because I don't have money. I'm not buying stocks too because those like PCCW are still low.'
