    Southeast Asian non Chinese has been living in HK for over 5 decades, including Nepalese, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, besides Filipinos and Indonesians. I have be born and brought up here as a third cultured kid. This has been a vital part of living in HK, seeing mix of various ethnicities and classes. The disparity between the rich and poor has a HUGE gap. As of the record in 2016, HK’s Gini Coefficient(measures wealth gap with an index of 0-1) was 0.539. I have come across many homeless people when walking in Jordan and Yau Ma Tei areas. If HK is one of the wealthiest places in the world, why are there many homeless?
    There are people living in cages and families living in confined rooms. On the other hand, there are obviously those who live a very luxurious life in quieter and bigger apartments, and even houses. So yes, housing is a critical issue for the local residents here and the gap of wealth is alarming.
    By the way, thanks for making the video. It makes me more aware of HK and Macau!

    Somethings to note:
    1) GDP per capita is deceiving
    While the GDP per capita of Hong Kong and Macau is appealing, most wealth is controlled by the rich elites (Real estate for Hong Kong and Gambling for Macau) The mean household income for Hong Kong is only 24475.20 USD per year and Macau's is 29,064.30 USD per year. That's because both governments ran not in a free market, but in a polypoply (or in Macau's case almost a monopoly due to the Gambling industry in Macau owned almost by one person). So to say that because low tax = free market = rich is quite disingenuous to say. If anything, Hong Kong is a testament to why Free market screws things over because thanks to the government, Hong Kong has the highest housing prices in the world, higher than that of London or New York.
    2) Hong Kong has the highest life expectancy

    3) Housing
    Oh did I mention how ridiculously expensive housing is in Hong Kong?

      Most people just wouldn't bother. They usually take buses or trains to the customs checkpoint and then walk through it to the other side. Since driving from Hong Kong to China would require separate car registration plates and applying through the Police departments of two different city. But if you REALLY want to travel by car, most roads are unidirectional so that drivers could be directed to the correct lane and not have any accidents happening.
