Building these #verticalSlums creates #jobs for a bit. We care about the short term. When these barely #liveable projects near completion though we will lobby govt to enable us to #rape the #localCommunity again to build more #prisons (-I mean), #verticalPrecincts.
We'll ensure the #humanFilingCabinets offer that #thirdWorld-style #ghetto vibe.

Exactly, if you don't like #China's methods, don't import their stuff.
Similarly if we don't like the way the #Palestinian people are being treated, #BoycottIsrael.
Simple.
We've been against + methods seen from China, #UK, #Israel, #USA and in #Australia.
Someone should make a #matchingGame for kids, matching abuses to #corporateStates.

Btw, to be clear, the reason artists draw so much #greenery on proposed highrise over-development projects is to pacify the local residents. After the project is approved and built, people may discover that there are no laws to ensure that people grow the plants they suggest.

The 4-part #documentary series by #AdamCurtis, #TheCenturyOfTheSelf, is very good at showing how we've been conditioned from #citizen to #consumer with so-called #infinateNeeds. See our previous hashtagged post for the link.
#PlanetOfTheHumans shows the #WallStreet side of #greenWashing. See "PlayStation 2 Wars" articles also.
See rare articles in TheGuardian about the #sandMafia that underpins the #upNotOut #highrise #overdevelopment and the moguls like #Trump, they produce.

#Overdevelopment is a massive issue.
#Construction is the worst industry, and #populationGrowth tends to be at the root of it. Thankfully in most places when people get access to #contraception, #familyPlanning and #education they lower #fertilty.
Bombing places (ie. #conflict and #war) actually boosts fertility, and produces #refugees, both terrible things in today's age.
The #JeffreyEpsteinClass and #CEOs, love it though, more #workers and #consumers.

178 followers · 12401 posts · Server activism.openworlds.infoOh and remember those years you turned a blind eye to that #sandMafia of (mostly) #China dredging up sand for the #blackMarket and destroying the complex life on the ocean floors so we can build all those trashy #highrises, that no one over 30 ever wanted to live in?
When we say "Drop", we mean "Drop dead." Don't go to jail and definately don't pass go to get your $200 a day in "#JobKeeper".
Just drop dead, sell out. You failed at life on earth.

Add great #architecture to that list.
The #profitMotive, including the #revolvingDoor, #privatisation (insofar as #publicHousing) and #rentseeking behaviour in #realEstate results in awful architecture.

This #MattRidley is a #shill.
He spouts #financialisation ie. #decoupling #economicGrowth from #resourceConsumption.
The #constructionBoom is a disaster for environment, transferring wealth to #gentifiers, #wellConnected and #speculators. Look at #GrenfellTowers, and there's huge swathes of flammable and unsustainably built trash in Australia - see #FourCorners expose + #sandMafia.
We haven't seen so much hand-wavey trash for years.
Shill might be too generous - try #liar.

There's nothing "weird" about #townPlanning. Every city that gets the same phallic obsession with #overdevelopment goes a similar way.
I wonder if you know about the #sandMafia, also?
David Graeber wrote Batsh*t Construction recently, a decent read. From a planning perspective if you want to reduce car use, The Perils Of Urban Consolidation by #PatrickTroy is a good read, albeit the start (with all the data) is a bit dry.
But #♡NY all you like.
