Ok, I might be biased. But PI is really a lot less isolated compared to DB. You have ferry to Central and to Tsuen Wan, buses to Tsing Yi, Kwai Fong, Tsuen Wan, and the Airport. Within 10-15 minutes you have access to at least 3 major shopping malls and transport hubs.
The island itself might be smaller, but it is very accessible and there is hardly a place in HK you can reach better if you live in DB.
I have heard that some people complain about the planes here on the forum, but our flat is really dead quiet.
About the visual pollution... that is a very interesting one. I always believed the distant view of the bridge is a highlight of our flat, but of course taste is different.
Anyway, I should keep quiet, keeps the rent down
10K gets you a very decent sized flat here by the way.
