Does anybody really /want/ to live in Hong Kong?
- thesausageking 8y agoIf they had a larger tech ecosystem, I would prefer Hong Kong to SF or most American cities. Amazing food, great public transit, miles and miles of hiking trails through the mountains, international and varied culture (to SF's tech monoculture), and it's very safe where ever you go.
- arcticbull 8y agoI mean, I do. Among other things they don’t have capital gains tax, it’s clean, efficient, stunningly pretty and they’ve got a little of everything. Amazing food, some of my favorite bars (Cafe Grey at Upper House, Buenosera in Kowloon). Beaches down by Repulse Bay. More than enough English to get by for me, and being an official language all paperwork is available in English. An hour boat ride from Macau makes it easier gambling than going from SF to Vegas. From my perspective it’s half way between Japan and Thailand in all the best ways.
