Are all these suburbs safe to visit and do these complexes provide their residents with any option for parking? It is also so interesting to see some of them relying on transit by an infrequent bus connection which must make commuting a chore.
Crime is not an issue in Hong Kong, even in public housing estates. These are safe areas to roam around in any hour. The irony is the less safe areas are in the older parts of the city with run-down lowrise tenements, not in these dense areas.

People typically don't drive in Hong Kong. The cost of having a car and paying for a parking spot are atrocious. These places all have good frequent transit connections.
