Due to sign differences Q pic must have been before January 2017 (most recent streetview above).
Picture in this post shows the same signs as Q pic way back in August 2011. (no other street view dates in between)

Might be best to rephrase this
>>2025833 Q pic may be from 2011
to
>>2025833 Q pic likely taken before January 2017
Reasoning:
The previous signs were similar even as far back as 2009, but there is a complete lack of images after August 2011 until January 2017.
Those signs may have been taken down as late as 2016 - perhaps need some more digging, into satellite images, HK news etc.
The Q Pic is looking north up Portland Street, and is taken at the interchange of Portland Street and Hamilton street - which is 1 block south of Dundas Street.
Wikipedia says this:
A section of Portland Street, particularly between Argyle Street and Dundas Street, hosts arguably Hong Kong's most famous red light district (serving mostly local Chinese clientele) and a popular scene in Hong Kong films.

Sign for Supreme Sauna at top of Q Pic
This part of HK definitely seems in or on the periphery of the Red Light district.
