I used to live on the peak (my parents rented a house on an annual rate). The views are beautiful there but just thinking about the huge homeless population of Hong Kong is just more than I can bear. I once went to work with a humanitarian group and it broke my heart to see people living under bridges, unsure of their future. Something needs to be fixed about the terrible management of property and land in Hong Kong.
Stock's are crashing, Bitcoin Investment right now will be at every wise individual list in a month you we be ecstatic with the decision you make today
HK real estate are the most greediest businessman in the world by stocking up land and selling by little to keep the price unaffordable ， capitalism at its finest
As they stated last peace owned by government was sold at the peak not that lately, so now you cant build anymore there anything new, unless if you sell the house, tear it down and build new, no more available empty land at the peak , so that's the reason of a big demand and high price
All the best Chinese elites stay there are their dogs. Of course if u lick ur boss ass ur gonna get a piece of the pie. High ranking business man and high end developers while even basic salary man and hawkers can't afford peanuts.

What -- that's not even beachfront. Pretentious units! I own a true Luxury home -- beachfront on powdery sand, exclusive cove, 270 degree view. Under five-minute lazy walk from bedroom to the Pacific Ocean. And yes, sunsets right there in the middle. My pool is 80+ meters.
my parents used to have friends that lived there and apperently its in the clouds most of the time so they can't see a lot and the walls are constantly damp
This affordability calculation is off, most Chinese people bought properties long time ago or simply inherited from parents. They didnt buy at current price, if they change house they sell old ones to get alot money so its not expensive as the index suggests
I’ve seen lots of apartments in Hong Kong that are only 2 bedroom. You can’t live in that apartment with 3 generations. If parents have two kids than one kid will have to go out and find a new apartment to start a family in. The population is increasing in Hong Kong so there will always be people looking to buy a house without one to sell.
This video teaches us to not blindly trust TH-cam. This channel needs to do better in-depth research. Besides the Vancouver glitch, CY Leung is not called ‘sigh’ Leung, but literally C Y. Any search of local news report will tell you that. Cheers.
I don’t understand why rich people who can afford to leave would spend all their money on a tiny house or apartment in Hong Kong. Wouldn’t they rather have a mansion in another city for the same price? It just seems like a waste of money even if you are rich.
I call BS. Just because a small part of a city has an expensive apartment doesn't make the whole city unaffordable. There are rundown scummy apartments available for poor people. Try Monaco. There's virtually nothing below $1M.

Imagine buying vacation homes in the same city you live. If you’re that rich wouldn’t you want to go abroad for all your vacations?
Toronto's CN Tower suddenly "moved" over to Vancouver?
What -- that's not even beachfront. Pretentious units! I own a true Luxury home -- beachfront on powdery sand, exclusive cove, 270 degree view. Under five-minute lazy walk from bedroom to the Pacific Ocean. And yes, sunsets right there in the middle. My pool is 80+ meters.
Went up there many times...and my God...those big houses and apartments!!
@0:37 I was like that must be the maintenance guy. Not really😁
Am I the only one who thinks... Gosh, all these "Mansions" look terrible?!
well the rich in china have zero tastes
@@lsd310 agree
I won’t say a millionaire is rich in Hong Kong
This is true. An average apartment can cost you over a million in USD.
4:23 Wow, that's actually my University THEi😆 Not an apartment complex.
my parents used to have friends that lived there and apperently its in the clouds most of the time so they can't see a lot and the walls are constantly damp
Your parents have very rich friends. I’d be surprised if you’re not rich too.
Wow that's crazy about the views with the clouds and the walls being damp most of the time .
@@gardensofthegodsIt's probably pollution smog from mainland.
Your parents better be rich bcz they know rich friends and it will be easier
Vancouver, also known as Toronto!
a very thorough perspective ..............................from an outsider.
These houses are an earthquake nightmare
And it’s nothing to do with shortage of land. The whole thing is absurd.
God bless very good and Excellent Match. Hongkong is very nice country.
Nice place for only the suoer rich
Nice place if you can afford it, the majority who live there can’t.
5:29 yooo he is everywhere
Great and we need and wish videos in Real Best 4K 60fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please.
So apparently according to the footage here
Vancouver =Toronto
San diego= San Francisco?
Am I correct!? :/
the tram that goes up to the peak is painfully slow..however, once you reach the top it's absolutely gorgeous!
new york didn't make the list but LA did? this must be a joke
Content is good 👌👌👌👌👌
Very nice.
Fantastic video - keeps inspiring me to create my own content. Cheers!
1:23 He showed a Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina 😂 One of the poorest countries 🤣🤣
That's uhh... That's Toronto, not Vancouver.
Chinese speculators have have life hell for the common people in all these cities ..
This affordability calculation is off, most Chinese people bought properties long time ago or simply inherited from parents. They didnt buy at current price, if they change house they sell old ones to get alot money so its not expensive as the index suggests
I’ve seen lots of apartments in Hong Kong that are only 2 bedroom. You can’t live in that apartment with 3 generations. If parents have two kids than one kid will have to go out and find a new apartment to start a family in. The population is increasing in Hong Kong so there will always be people looking to buy a house without one to sell.
CY Leung is not "SAI" Leung. C Y are his initials.
This video teaches us to not blindly trust TH-cam. This channel needs to do better in-depth research. Besides the Vancouver glitch, CY Leung is not called ‘sigh’ Leung, but literally C Y. Any search of local news report will tell you that. Cheers.
Why do the houses look cheap?
I live in the peak and the section about security is untrue
Since when did Vancouver had a CN Tower? Clearly someone didn't do their research well.
lmaoo rightt i was like um toronto isn’t that unaffordable and then-
I guess .. if your just into views, and not into the lovely experience that gardening therapy provides .. I'm happy in my own eclectic abode! 🌱🌿☘
They just sold an apartment here for $82.2 million making it Asia's most expensive apartment.
Less than 30 seconds in and they're showing a pic of San Francisco as San Diego and a pic of Toronto as Vancouver; should I take this video seriously?
I used to live Mt kellet Rd LA Hacienda 503.. beautiful up there ❤️
How much for Hong Kong? I wanna buy it
Humans are such Funny Creatures!! That Green Paper Feeds their Over-Inflated Egos. They are Lost to Reality!!
and they have holes in their walls?...
well with that money i would buy up a whole village in the new territories to build a mansion and overlook shenzhen and still have millions left xD
it’s the location that worth the money

It is awesome to go to Hong Kong for vacation
It’s also an expensive vacation
I don’t understand why rich people who can afford to leave would spend all their money on a tiny house or apartment in Hong Kong. Wouldn’t they rather have a mansion in another city for the same price? It just seems like a waste of money even if you are rich.
Those HK people has houses in Mainland China, Canada, USA, Japan, UK, Australia, Taiwan, Thailand….They live in HK for earning money…
When you think Vancouver is Toronto 🤣😂
Taxi: Shows picture of a bus.
I call BS. Just because a small part of a city has an expensive apartment doesn't make the whole city unaffordable. There are rundown scummy apartments available for poor people. Try Monaco. There's virtually nothing below $1M.
That’s the same in hongkong.
