The rents went back up quickly. Housing cost in HK are astronomical right now. $1,000,000 USD for 350 square feet in Shatin or MaOn Shan.

Lots of people left and then came back. Now they are leaving again

I’m sure they did. I wonder how many mainland Chinese moved to Hong Kong in the past couple decades for the little bit of extra freedom?

I would love to go back to Hong Kong again. An amazing city.

That might be Chinese tycoons looking for a place to park their cash. The wealthier ones are probably buying in the West where the Party’s writ doesn’t loom quite as large, meaning it can’t get at their assets there.
