Yes, always had comments when I was in the ICC in West Kowloon. Weird though as it's closer from Central than Central to say Wan Chai. That is if you take the train.
Then when I moved the office to Langham Place in Mongkok it was alot more difficult to get people to come to the Kowloon!
In general talk they always talk about Kowloon as some weird place like they were on the mainland.
Though this story is the mainland it is quite comical.
I remember when I was living in Beijing around 2005 and I meet some Consulate Australian staff at an after trade show drinks function. I remember one girl (mid 20's) was visibly distressed and unhappy. I inquired what's the matter and she replied that she had to go back home (to the embassy compound) as she has been out in China for more than 12 hours!! I laughed uncontrollably which distressed her even more.
Agree with the people that you will be totally fine on that salary even if you don't get a housing allowance.
But to put things in perspective, I work in finance, all expats sent out here in my company live on considerably more than that (counting our housing allowance) still some people feel they can't save much. These people have kids and spend 20k per month on food for the family and expect to live and eat like we did back in Europe. So it's definitely possible to burn 96k per month if you are not willing to adapt to HK way of life.
