    A relative of mine worked collecting the censers information...his area was rural area outside a large town....he was amazed to discover dwellings that did not officially exist they were usually Houses in the back gardens of existing houses or they were converted garages, in one place her found 3 different types of dwelling at the back of there house ( he also thinks they were at least 12 Chinese's people living there ) The owner got hostile with him and did not want any recorded about the houses.

    Do you live in a house that dose not officially exist.

    I don't think that means what you think it means. Or maybe it doesn't mean what I think it means.

    Either way, one of us is wrong.

    That's a very specific number to just suspect. Like did he just look at the dwelling and say "Ahhh yes, this is exactly the type of place where 12 Chinese people would go to live together!"
