    Fixed that for you.

    Didn't realize someone could be so attached to their car (which I assume is probably an Alphard) in Hong Kong.

    oh boy, the PC police. Yes, I do value my car above most other things in HK. I did public transport until I had kids. Then one day, after standing by the road for 25 minutes, with crying kids, waiting for the bus, I had a revelation .... why not buy a car? Bought one the next day & it was game changing!

    This is probably not as improbable as it sounds. A simple cut and cover tunnel from Disneyland to Sam Pak Wan would not be that expensive. Just a km or so to link 20,000 people to a train network

    Sunny Bay Car Park

    Didn't someone propose a HKD $50 million hiking path from Disney to Disco Bay? I'd like to know the price tag on your simple cut and cover tunnel...

    DB gives people a CHOICE to live somewhere without cars. If you want a car, you don't choose to live in DB. Seems illogical to me to add cars to a place that chose to exist without them. Plenty of other places for the car owners to live.

    "Sunny Bay" is a Disneyfication of the original place name, which is Yam O or "Dark Bay". Fcuk Disney and its cloying influence.

    If we guess at $1.5b but share the costs across the 12,000 households then it would be $125,000 per household. Given that it would probably add a lot to the property value of the yet to be built high density flats in this part of the town it probably should be built but it would mean doing a JV with the MTR on the next couple of phases to make it happen. The family that runs DB probably wouldn't be able to comprehend this.
