  1.  @orb3796  If communism is so superior to capitalism, how come no one's risking their lives to live in mainland China but Hong Kong in spite of the overcrowding?

  2. Too busy making money off of land sales and property taxes.

  3. China scrapped the 1-child policy in 2017. And now it's going through a population crisis.

  4. Welcome to living in the big city.

  6. China scrapped it in 2017.

  7.  @samsonsoturian6013  Pretty much.

  8. Only to those who think they're entitled to the comfortable life at the expense of others including their own offspring.

  9. <It’s obvious that the government in Hong Kong is unreliable to solve the housing crisis.> HK has very little land to build new housing on. And HK's rent makes NYC's look cheap.

  10.  @natandjoec  The poster is a bot.

  11. What equality? A poor Chinese pensioner living in the outskirts is not equal to a well-connected CCP stooge.

  12. Real prosperous which is why millions still risk their lives to flee to.

  13. No. That's what overcrowding gets you.

  14.  @orb3796  No. The problem is overcrowding and having too little space to build any new housing on. China has plenty of land to build new housing on.

  15. In HK's case, that and not enough space.

  16. This is not the landlords' fault. This is on the city government with their zoning restrictions, property taxes and building fees.

  17.  @davidgriffeth4912  And then those very same famous communist inflict a callous fate on the working class becoming the landlords they replaced.

  18. For the worse as your delusions of grandeur sets in.

  19. No. This is America in every other city the Democrats rule.

  20. No. Looks like a Democrat paradise. Most Republicans live in the suburbs.

  21.  @orb3796  Hardly. British colonialism made Hong Kong prosperous and prestigious.

  22. And rich people should not complain when there's no one around to take care of them and keep society going.

  23. Jackie Chan owes the people of HK nothing.

  24. Rents keep on rising because property taxes, building costs, land values, etc. keep on rising.

  25. Sure you would!

  26. LOL. No. At least NYC has Long Island, Upstate, New Jersey and Connecticut. Hong Kong has China.

  27. How are future generations going to have plenty when they're not around at all? How's this "stop breeding" thing working out for Japan or even the average small town as the young moved out and the old are aging and dying out?

  28.  @spectralcloak31  Halifax is nowhere near overcrowded. It's supposed unaffordability is due people from Toronto moving in.

  29. Not everyone wants to live far away from amenities and services.

  30. Equality doesn't exist.
    1
  31. Exactly. What you're seeing is just leftist-styled gerrymandering.
    1
  32. So is socialism/communism in favor of the socialists/communists in charge as socialists/communists are some of the biggest capitalists around.

  33. How is forcing people to get sterilized against their will ethical? And who exactly are you to decide who needs to not exist?

  34. Chinese society is not known for generosity.

  35.  @orb3796  How so?

  36. They already have that. Like everywhere else in the world government housing exists, there's a long waiting list.

  37. Which happen to be the government.

  38. Overpopulation and overcrowding are not the same things.

  39. Not really.
