It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
China's speculative real estate market has been insane for decades now. If you've ever visited, you can literally see it. A lot of the projects lose funding midway through and just go half constructed and abandoned for years. Large scale malls that were built in the last 5 - 10 years are just completely empty.
Really hoping this is an opportunity for crackdown and the government takes it.
I will say that there is a lot of cheap real estate. I can buy a flat that is five times the size of my shoebox sized flat in the UK for a third of the price.
One of the reasons I would love to move there. I can't imagine ever being able to afford my own home here, but over there I actually could, and even if I couldn't, the rent would be far cheaper.
