I didn''t have the same feeling... we got a lot of cheap/free entertainment here. For food, cooking at home is always an option and going fine dine is cheaper compare to that in HK as well.

A lot of ppl go to work here using public transit. Some even bike to work. It's really not that bad. If you only need a car for the weekend or special days for trips/shopping, you can try use services like Zip car or co-op (Co-operative Auto Network).   
Our transit is not great but I think it's improving. After the olympic, I actually use transit a lot more. (weekend or weekday to DT)

I don't understand your "housing statement"... do you mean it's expensive here and it's expensive in HK???

I don't really care about shopping late at night (@ @ after 9 pm... really) and I am happy cooking at home and enjoying the great air and outdoor here. But may be you care about late night shopping and don't care about air and outdoor. well... I guess different ppl have different needs.
Btw, it's such a nice day today with clear blue sky outside!
