The nature of Hong Kong is that it needs overseas recruitment. It's a small city and a very transient community, few people actually stay here and they need to be replaced from somewhere.

We haven't seen the job market this active since we've been here, and we've been here for 10 years. 2005 was a big year, and we had a tremendous start to this year.

Even during the recession we were bringing in people from overseas to fill niche positions. If you take that option away, companies will just move out of Hong Kong.

It always seems that the dollars we have to distribute are not sufficient to meet the needs of the community. They do a wonderful job in most cases, and you want to fully fund those programs.

The community needs to perpetuate his legacy. And we need to fill his seat with someone who has the same advocacy and vision.

Our goal, to meet the community needs, is to build 12 homes a year.
