I really thought Hong Kong was aesthetic when I visited, but it was way too crowded, and you start feeling like an ant in a hive after a while.

Wow no wonder homes in Vancouver is so expensive.

>>71863042
Don't like living near so many people, plus everything is more expensive in huge cities.

Not particularly, but it was pretty smoggy when I went.

That said, I live in the other Hong Kong (Vancouver) which is very humid throughout the year.

>>71863222
No, homes in vancouver are expensive because most of Vancouver is low-density zoned

Comfy desu.

Fuck off, realtor.

Detached homes don't just jump prices 25-50% year-over-year because of supply issues when the population is growing at a fairly low rate.

The "dirtiness" is an essential part of its aesthetic.

I think "decayed" would be the proper term

Singapore does the same aesthetic without decay.

Also have a train in a building.

Depends where you go, like with any city.

In some of the poorer regions (North Point, Causeway Bay) you'll find scores of cheap, tiny, deteriorating apartments with laundry hanging on the balcony. Storekeepers dump their waste into the streets and roll it for blocks on their carts, and you get various offputting scents. And everyone spits.

But there's pockets of super high wealth (the Peak, Central) and all the buildings are modern, the streets are clean, and the super wealthy live in homes or penthouses overlooking the city. But these areas just feel like typical financial districts you find anywhere in the world, and they lack that side of Hong Kong that makes it unique.

The place I stayed at (near Nathan Rd in Mong Kok) was a good balance between wealth/cleanliness and the distinctive "Hong Kong" feeling.

Japanese buildings have aesthetics

>>71870720
it's a tiny bit of land filled with buildings, not really. Though I'm sure there's plenty of millionaires.

h-h-h-hi

I like how public services are just a stone throw away
