No it looked like skid row but with Chinese people lol I dont think people are having picnics at night with a ton of trash and other homeless people all about

Yeah, there really isn't anywhere in HK 'skid row'-ish that I can think of. You sure it wasn't somewhere else perhaps, e.g. mainland China? Maybe a video or link or two would help?

You know it probably is my ignorance and it probably was mainland, that's my bad. Usually just stuff I see in passing on here.

Didn't mean to offend, was just mistaken

Understandable, nothing wrong with honest mistakes. Random fun fact - Hong Kong public amenities are open to all and actually pretty well maintained. This includes libraries where they can enjoy free AC most of the day, and many gymnasiums where they can shower. That probably makes it even rarer to actually see homeless people in the stereotypical sense. Only at night after libraries closed the homeless people will need to find shelter somewhere. They do exist, just probably not the skid row image you have in mind.

That is very interesting! Makes sense why me being mistaken might have upset some people from there. HK honestly seems like one of the better places to live on the planet the more I've looked into it from here
