HONG KONG -- Hong Kong's so called "cage men" may be among the city's poorest, but rents per square foot for their dingy wire-mesh cubicles are now on a par with luxury flats in the city's famed Peak district.


With Hong Kong's property prices having soared over the past year and urban redevelopment shrinking the supply of older, cheaper tenement blocks, thousands of cage men still dwelling in 15-square-foot cubicles, usually crammed eight to a room in rusty tiered bunks, have seen their lives squeezed even further.
