    I’m starting to believe this is a bad faith argument. Do you have anything addressing the specific point of ghost cities actually (not) being populated now?

    For those that are too lazy to read:

    • link 1: 39 buildings demolished for illegal construction
    • link 2: 50 second clip of 7 buildings that were never finished being demolished (no context, other than the buildings being there for some years)
    • link 3: luxury mansion development stalls due to missmangement/lack of funding, leaving people that paid for those homes without a property

      https://youtube.com/watch?v=UPwtUTrwKRI wasted time and resources because everything is shortsighted and mostly affect the buyers.

      How could they?

      • Unfinished buildings.
      • Housing market collapsing.
      • Everything on build on ponzi scheme.
      • Youth Unemployment has never been higher.
      • Biggest real estate players are in huge debt.

        No one is arguing any of the points above. But to quote the Wikipedia article:

        While many developments failed to live up to initial lofty promises, most of them eventually became occupied when given enough time.[6][16]

        Citation 16 is a Bloomberg article from 2 years ago in case you’re wondering.

        Put yourself in my shoes, I can’t exactly propose edits to that statement based on a single youtube video of a ghost town existing.

        Your conclusion ("How could they? ") does not follow from your premises, much as I agree with them.
