inane little opines
First, I applaud those who openly express their concern on camera. The professor was definitely riled up about margin of wealth-stratification widening in China. In a way, his concern would be correct if these extensive metropolitan areas were populated and viable. Ultimately, if the current situation remains unchanged, the 'bubble' will burst, and then any wealth-stratification will be narrow or eliminated.
one of my friends is doing a documentary in dubai as part of his post-doctoral research on the use of art and commodity in the new economy of dubai.
pretty much the same with art/commodity as with construction... huge bubble, massive inflation, no sense of value, mostly all useless.

People can live in an apartment though.
Fuck Israel
All that unused space gone to waste. So many people without homes in this world, let alone in china itself.
If the women don't find ya handsome. They should at least find ya handy.
everyone praised dubai but that was just some knee jerk reaction because their oil is running out
those apartments are about as good as a piece of art - it's all economic speculation and zero function. hell at least some of the art can be hung on a wall... who is ever going to move into those tower blocks?Dilbert_X wrote:

Just got done reading several articles about how China has to be prepared for a population of roughly NYC per month to move from the rural areas to the urban areas over the next ten years.
Could be that they're just preparing for that?

Asia is on my bucket list. I'd love to visit China. I've got other, more Mediterranean commitments first though.
