I think he's mentioned many times he lives around Sham Tseng and has lived in the GC in the past. Never seemed reticent to me. Perhaps he now has an internet stalker and is being more careful.Original Post Deleted

I am not forcing ppl to give information on those boards. Ppl give it freely.Original Post Deleted
I used to live in the Gold Coast area (plenty of info on that on Geoexpat), then I lived in the HungHom area (plenty of info on that on Geo expat), now I live somewhere else (near a very cute beach and 5mn walk from some nice trail - it's about 30 mn from Central by direct bus).
re-last week: I did not try to suggest I had kid (my pharsing might not always be perfect, remember I am not native..), simply highlighted that whether I had one, was waiting for one or had none, I was still entitle to an opinion.
Isn't it who keep bitching about how bad gold coast was when actually you had beaches, trail-walk , a huge football field with real grass all less than 5 mins walk from your place. But you choose to move on top a shopping mall ? all this because you had to endure a 35 minutes shuttle bus ride ?Original Post Deleted

Now that I understand and accept your point, I would ask you to do the same with mine:
although the parents may feel better about the differences and the quality of the activities "back home" or "somewhere else", Hong Kong as just as many opportunities for exploration and exercise as any other city.
In fact, I would argue that comparing with other big cities (Manhattan, London, LA, Paris etc etc), Hong Kong has many more varied activities for kids, closer to the city and these locales can be reached more conveniently. These activities may be different but they are equally beneficial to the growing needs of children.
My most important point is : it doesn't matter how the kids get their exercise. The fact that they do and have the opportunity to do is more important on how big or how green the grass is.
If you are not near the bike paths, then go for a hike. The path is too far, go for a swim. You dont like swimming, go climbing indoor or outdoor. Horses? Football? Rugby? Netball? Sailing? There are many many choices at very affordable costs.

Enjoy your life on top of a shopping mall in a souless part of HK and we will continue to correct any lies about the lack of easily accessible nature in HK as and whe we see them.Original Post Deleted
What is the difference between an open space (very desirable apparently) and a pocket of isolation (not so desirable apparently)?
I'm curious!
