    why would share flat be any more unsafe here?

    same as anywhere, be smart about who you CHOOSE to live with.

    out of several million normal rental flats. Doable - yes. Common - no. Flats in HK are typically VERY small, meaning sharing with a stranger is a somewhat closer encounter than other places!

    You can get a small apartment for 5 to 6k so why share when you can walk naked around your 100 foot square apartment.

    I believe it all depends who you share with if you can do that in a shared place or not.
    The second question is how important that is to you.

    Plenty of flat shares around, and you definitely get more for your money - for example a 20k 2 bed is a lot nicer than a 10k 1 bed!

    Try looking on classifieds section here, on easyroommate or share with a friend.
