@kristytio6082 3 года назад

The locations of these apartments are in the richer/well-off neighbourhoods, especially Sai Ying Pun (it's a really nice neighbourhood that's popular with expats because its littered with cafes). So it's not surprising that the rent is more expensive. If you're looking at neighbourhoods in New Territories, the rent is slightly cheaper depending on the building/estate. Co-living spaces are now becoming a popular option among young adults because of the insane rent prices. Also, most young adults usually live with their parents to save on rent.

I live in a really cheap area in England, a city called Bradford, my 2 bed, 2 bath is £370, the biggest homes in our area are like 10 bedroom 5 bath homes for £6000 a month. I can afford to live alone in a 2 bed and cover all my bills alone and also have a lot of spare money. It baffles me how people even live in London let alone some of these super expensive homes. I would be way too cheap to live in any of these places, because the cheap places, would not do for me because they are tiny.

But, living on Lantau Island, you had to factor in the ferry or bus/ train rides each way to work, plus the time & inconvenience factor (miss the last ferry/ train/ bus, and you're stuck until 5-6 a.m. when they start running again.

Untidy if full of things! Under the bed must be clean & not lot of things hidden, Everywhere are things in every corner looks like messy for me.We have more places and rooms and cabinets here in Germany to put our things & look neat & tidy.

I also want to mention Hong Kong has high humidity almost all year around, you have to keep your AC running for almost 8-9 months otherwise you have to deal with mold/ smell in your place

I'm from the States, studied abroad in HK for a Semester. One of the most memorable experiences of my life. Stayed in the university dorms with an amazing view. BUT I would never pay nearly $4k USD to rent such tiny apartments. Even most of California is not nearly as expensive.

My apartment I have a choice of electric stove or induction hot plate and I love the induction hot plate. Added safety against fire in crowded Hong Kong all but eliminating explosion risk from gas. What kind of gas do you use? Bottled gas we call LNG or piped in gas we call natural gas? An induction stove and a dishwasher just shy of heaven on Earth for me. Strait times media from Singapore had a very good program relating to water filters. You should watch it so that your water is cleaner coming out rather than even more contaminated, and you have to change the filters on time or things grow within the filter. Half the size and twice the price, commuting times are not ours spent on the freeway that is a slow moving parking lot 20 miles long. How have things changed and remain the same since Beijing asserted its authority? As for those who cannot get a roommate and afford 3,000 plus a month better to afford only 800 the months perhaps on a fixed income I wonder?

main reason is economy keep growing due to china fast growing. people become affordable to higher price in the limit of land. but actually the land isn't that limited but its hard to develop the country side due to stakeholder. and gov main income is come from selling land that's why they wont sell it cheap.
