I've never been a fan of HK -- dirty, noisy, hot. But the air and water quality seem fine. I do like the views from the crazy vertical architecture :-)
For the first time I am seeing a real push by westerners against raising families in Asia - radiation in TKO, pollution in HKG, out of control smoke rolling over SGP - yucky yucky. Personally, I have never noticed much of a difference other than the weather ... I am told the U.S. was pretty disgusting in the 1950's as well.
When you say 'normalize for city size' are you talking about the fact that more populous cities will have more breadth from the poorest poor to the richest rich, and the environmental, uh, diversity that it implies?
How is the environment there? (normalize for city size)
