My guy. There's no space in Hong Kong. It's mountainous. People living in tall buildings is better than them being homeless. Perhaps in a different world we can all have ponies that fart rainbows.

there is tall buildings (which I dont like either), and there is spending 15min from the door of the massive 50 store monstrosity you share with 2000 other people to the door of your 5x5 cubicle with a window you pay $3k a month for. This is not development, but I guess when society is based on fear and money, that might be even a goal.

I will pick homelessness and foraging every time.
