Food, public transportation, beach, hiking in HK are good. But housing in HK is super expensive. You can't find a room in any other cities smaller than HK. People feel desperate because of the super expensive housing. The city's economy is kidnapped by real estate. I am living in HK and thinking about leaving.

Yup, that's really why I'd only consider living there if I'd acquired a decent amount of wealth already (at least $1M USD).

Hopefully the boom will end at some point making it affordable again, but I don't hold out much hope for that.
