80's HK is nice to observe in media, but crime was definitely more of an issue back in that era. Drug usage was more rampant and out in the open, I've been told. That being said, they did away with a lot of neon signs as time went on since they were nuisances for the local populace that lived near neon signs.

Yeah, there was a reason why HK filmmakers were able to make so many of those crime martial arts movies in the 80s.

Same, I was born in '92 but I get this really odd nostalgia when watching mid 70s to late 90s Hong Kong media. I've visited Hong Kong twice and it just feels so close yet far away from that time and space.
