- NotSammyHagar 7y agoYears ago I thought of going there, a friend did seriously consider an academic position, even interviewed. It's great there in many ways if you like big city life but Chinese citizens face the possibility of kidnap if they are too politically pushy. I feel so sorry for them but don't know how to help. Some people from grad school who were from there immigrated to Canada and the US, but what will happen to the mass of people.
- pertymcpert 7y agoIsn't the property price even worse there?
- kenneth 7y agoRentals are cheaper. I can get a nice 1br in mid-levels for ~20k HKD (i.e. $2.5k). In SF these days, I'm not getting a decent 1br in a desirable location under $4k. My $3.5k rent was considered way under market.
