What would even be the damage? 30 rich assholes eating at the restaurant, it would probably fall onto like 10% of the mostly empty skydome. So we'd really just be mourning a handful of tower employees and call it a day

Nope, it's very much hollow, and the inside looks like something out of a Descent game:

that being said I haven't done the math of what the kinetic energy of a 787 dreamliner splatting into a big slab of concrete at full throttle looks like because I like being able to get through airport security

First house: low property tax. Second house: x5 the rate. Third house: x50, etc. Owning an apartment complex counts as owning however many dozens of houses.

Also a 100% tax on all income or assets gained in a year over $500,000.

I think it started with the american right wing media suddenly going hard against China for mostly the same old nationalist reasons (they're gonna take our jobs/take over the economy/rule the world) but also mentioning Hong Kong and the Uyghur genocide as bad things the "bad guys" did.

For some reason there's a pervasive belief that it's absolutely impossible for a chud to say even a single correct thing, and thus they can bend reality by stating the opposite. So because Fox News hates China, the CCP is good. I guess.

you don't want to penalize apartment complexes too hard or else we're going to continue getting forever stretches of suburbs for realestate development, exclusively.

In an ideal world, that policy came alongside massive investment in public housing that's mostly medium density and basically becomes the defacto way property is distributed, but then we're in full on pipe dream territory.

In korea apartment buildings aren't owned by giant management companies. usually one complex has a ton of landlords who own a couple to several units each. then the residents vote on which landlord should be the manager.

I'm not sure why that is. I guess there's taxes if you own too many properties, so development companies just dump all the units as soon as they're built rather than renting them out themselves.

Housing here is completely hosed up, in the sense that the rental system is crazy and doesn't make any sense at all, not in the sense that prices are high. My new place is $550/mo. Just over 1/3rd of what my rent was in Canada. I'm going to have savings! Imagine that.

housing and tenancy regulations are under the control of elected band council. they don't have to comply with provincial acts, but they tend to be fairly close.
