Is the cost of living in Sai Kung high?

"The cost of living in Sai Kung is relatively high compared to other parts of the world. Rent for a decent-sized apartment in a good location can be quite expensive. The cost of groceries and dining out is also high due to the high quality of food and service. Transportation costs are moderate, with efficient public transportation systems in place. Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet are also a significant part of the monthly budget. Health care is generally expensive unless covered by insurance. Education, especially international schooling, can be a major expense for families.
