There was an amazing tweet I vaguely remember seeing posted on reddit-logo on r/shitliberalssay that had some liberal noticing that a Chinese subway stop they had previously called out for being "in the middle of nowhere" was, three years later, at the heart of a bustling new population centre. Iirc they weren't impressed and declared it to be a matter of "luck".

Planning is apparently too advanced a concept for these people.

The Chinese government is so lucky that when they planned a new urban development, it completely randomly and unrelatedly just happened to be in the same place they'd previously built transportation infrastructure.

the prc is known for using the classic blindfolded dart-throwing method of city planning

Burgerites be so car-brained they can’t even fathom that building a public transit station would make that area attractive for residents and development.

That reminds me of this dumbass I know who keeps leaving his carrots out in the woods, underneath a box propped up by a stick. Complete waste of food, but somehow he keeps getting lucky and small animals keep randomly going under the box, causing it to fall on top of them. He's so superstitious, he swears up and down that the reason it keeps happening is because of the carrots, even though obviously it doesn't make any sense logically.

you're supposed to let cities appear organically

the Chinese are manipulating their city development
