      Yup agreed, she can used 1 whole room to keep all her shoes and yet to mentioned there’s no storage, using the common bathroom as one, omg”’ I think likely she doesn’t like guests to be in her house that’s why common toilet becomes storage purposes😂😂

    I don't know why, because it goes against all logic, but I liked the smallest apartment the most. Even though It's way too small for me, it felt the most homely. The big apartments felt cold and impersonal to me

    I love the last apartment the most because it was really cozy although it really is a bit too small. The first apartment was too white for me. The woman was dressed in white, the furniture were white, the bathroom white, that is too much white for me and not cozy. The second apartment was a bit too big for me but I loved the view outside. I like smaller rooms and more rooms in an apartment, not one or two big rooms.

    I actually know HK and it would be useful if Caleb had also shown where the first 2 apartments were. For that rental cost, my guess is that both apartments 1 and 2 are outside the urban area. Otherwise, the rent would be much higher for the size of those 2 apartments
    Also, all 3 apartments are set up for single people, not families. I guess this is the demographic of Caleb's audience? But it means that the apartments that are shown are not typical for HK

    Native Hongkonger here, don’t think this video gave the fair view of living environment in Hong Kong . You only cherry-picked the luxe ($8000-10000) of flat 1&2 then jump down all the way to lower end to flat 3 ($900)? Whilst there are lots middle class or upper middle class in between living in private housing / buildings. To give an idea average rent is between usd 4-6 per square foot and from our government report the average rent is usd$1686 per month. I pay $2100 a month for a 550sq ft flat, 40 mins by metro to the city centre and my friend has the same size flat in the very city centre paying $3200.

  • @silverstar501
    @silverstar501 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    i think the last apartment is around the average of space each person has in hong kong as the average is like 150, 160sq. foot per person. But i think a lot of lower class people has way smaller space. That definitely looks like a 2 person flat to me. I like how he still makes the space cozy. Not sure if the bed was his or was the owners'. Would prefer a single person bed so that there could be a gap between the shower and the bed or else it sounds pretty bad to get the bed wet especially in such a humid weather like now (and also with laundry hanging indoor).
    The sink looks super small, especially for a caucasian man that tall >

    Whoa HK is indeed that costly to live. My friend was offering me to stay at her small apartment (25sqm) when she was away during my visit. She said the rent was HKD 27,000 per month in 2022 (around USD 3,400ish). No elevator, but very close to Sheung Wan station. Based on my 5 nights experience, it wasn’t that bad to live in such a compact space if you designed it wisely.

    First of your videos I found after reading about your videos in the Washington Post today.
    I have rented many apartments. First In Bloomington, IN 1985 600 Sq feet/1 bedroom $200. 1988 in Artington VA 400 SQ FT studio $400 was sticker shock (less space, twice as much $ as Indiana). Then 600 Sq feet/1 bed in Falls Church, VA 1990-97 went from $450-$520. Then rented a 900 Sq ft (3 small bedsrooms) house back in Arlington 1997-2000 $800-$850/month. Then I bought a house. Lived there 15 years. Went back to renting in 2015 and sticker shock again. Ended up with 1000sq ft condo (2 bedrooms +bonus loft) for $1400/month. That was actually larger for less $ than other places I'd looked at. 2022 bought the condo from my landlady.

But I would love to see you visit!!!

    I’m sad because I have recently watched videos on caged housing and subletting . This is a luxury to have a house

    Great stuff, fascinating to see how others live and what they accept as normal. Go to London, Great Britain.

      London... where? Oh, Great Britain. I don't think you need to explain where one of the most famous cities in the world is.

    Having living in Hong Kong the prices are definitely off. That first apartment is no way 10k USD but it’s definitely way more than 10k HKD.

      Its 10kusd per month. 10HKD is just 1,276.82 usd.

    $900 is not bad at all. In Toronto, you can't even get a private room for that price now.

    What do people do to work from home and make so much money that they can just afford 8k USD apartment and renovate it? im very curious

  • @xuliang2121
    @xuliang2121 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have been to Hongkong many times, though I dont understand what of the city attracts you so much to pay 900 for that apartment.

    First apartment: Shoe’s disintegrates with age, my shoes from the 1990s all fell apart.
    Not enough storage is poor planning.

    I guess over 90% of the HK citizens won’t able to afford the rent of apartment 1 and 2, for me, only apartment 3 can catch my attention and showing the reality of local HK ppl living environment 😢

      Ok that last apartment was super small but very functional!!! Very surprised.

    the issue with spacious wide areas is heating the place when it becomes cold, sometimes even if you consume a lot of gas you cannot make the place cozy warm and relaxing

    • @edwink1467
      @edwink1467 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      lol there’s no heating the house in HK. Winter is 15-20 degree Celsius or 60-70 degree Fahrenheit. You don’t need heat for that. You do need AC for the hot summer tho.

  • @arineems6059
    @arineems6059 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hmmm... I like all 3 apartments. But probably the last one would suit me the best, and I have less stuff than that guy
