That is a much better use of land!
I just drove past a golf course yesterday and thought we should do this!
May I ask why? My old town had about a dozen golf courses when I was growing up. Now when I drive by it’s all housing developments other than the few that remain. It used to be a more rural area.
I’d much rather see green space and golf courses than housing developments. While I completely agree that there is a housing shortage, it appears that root issue isn’t solved by more housing developments on golf courses. Instead, why not convert existing buildings (such as unused office spaces) into public housing. Or, prevent corporations or investment firms from buying up real estate/housing to turnaround and jack up costs.
I may be biased but I’ve had these views before picking up golf. I mainly use golf as a way to stay active as I’m getting older and get outside in the fresh air.
lmfao good
fuck golf
While I loathe golf courses and am always happy to take the piss out of the “elites”, this feels like something more.
This might just be the CCP flexing political power over Hong Kong in general, but I’d be curious to see what the primary motivation behind this decision was. Obviously it wasn’t building public housing, that’s just a good cover story with a positive side effect.
Hell yeah. Having a humongous area of grass that needs to be moved and watered reserved for a boring sport when there are tons of people paying ridiculously high rent to be able to cram themselves into some tiny closet. Fuck the CCP tho.
Rare China W. We better get our politicians to take notes of this one.
