Comment on How San Francisco Broke America’s Heartparent

Comments

In Singapore, a poster child of modern capitalism, the vast majority of residents live in government-built apartment buildings. In many cases the tenants own their apartment and can resell at market rate after a certain period, but the land (if not the apartment itself) is generally on a 50-year or 99-year lease from the government.

Government regulation isn't binary. Conservatives and liberals in America are blinded by their own prejudices, most of which are shared prejudices :(

Singapore is the poster child for benevolent/effective authoritarianism.
