The main problem with living on Lamma Island is the distance from the central areas. The distance from the central areas means that compared to people who live more centrally, people who live on Lamma often spend more time travelling to work, spend more time travelling to the shops or spend more time travelling to visit friends - although much less time doing these things than in the past.
However, the distance from the central areas is also an advantage. The distance from the central areas means that rents are cheaper because many people like to live near their workplaces and comparatively few choose to live on the island. Moreover, the people who choose to live on the island will often tell you that the disadvantages are overstated.
It's true that food in the shops on the island is slightly more expensive – there is no supermarket (and many island residents wouldn't want a supermarket), but you don't have to do your shopping on the island. Indeed, many Lamma people don't do their shopping on the island - you can always stop off at a supermarket, stop off at a market or stop off at a fast food stall on the way back from work.
