I scratch my head why HKers spend a whopping $1.5M cad to purchase a basic 500 sq ft HK home in 2018 when, for that kind of money, you can buy a single detached home in a relatively good neighborhood in Toronto Canada in those days. Some not well-to -do homeowners rent out the basement and 2 bedrooms upstairs and can get as much as $2500 cad a month. Why work your butt off your whole life to get a basic shelter in HK.
