On: A single parking space in a luxury development in Hong Kong has sold for $765K

It's worth noting that cars and parking in Hong Kong are absurdly unnecessary luxuries, and this is an absurdly luxurious example of the genre. The golden rule of capitalism is, you can spend as much money as you want, and because it is your money, other people don't get to decide it is a waste.

Wealth beyond the dreams of avarice and what right do us ordinary people have to say anything about it?

One might call it a rule of “profit before people”.

If someone has a disproportionate amount of wealth, I'd rather they spend it.

You can't have it both ways. Silly purchases are way better for the rest of us than them just parking the wealth.

In Hong Kong, homes are absurdly unnecessary luxuries, too. Maybe Marx wasn't so wrong after all...
