EASA require many things but living within 90 mins of your home base is not one of them - FTL only suggests that you consider a temporary arrangement whilst on duty... company rules are a different matter:
GM1 CS FTL.1.200 Home Base
TRAVELLING TIME
Crew members should consider making arrangements for temporary accommodation closer to their home base if the travelling time from their residence to their home base usually exceeds 90 minutes.
Regardless of the 90 minute thing, living East Coast USA and reporting Hong Kong you aren't going to be acclimatised in any way whatsoever.

Reason: added acclimatisation.
