On: Priced out of home ownership

[micromacrofoot]

looking at China and applying that example to the US is absurd, these are entirely different situations

for one the "ghost towns" of China are in places no one wants to live, the complete opposite of what the US (or anyone) needs to do

[jeffbee → micromacrofoot]

The other reason this is absurd is because after the American press lost interest in making fun of Chinese "ghost cities" Chinese people moved into those cities. It's a case of Americans making fun of another country for planning ahead.
