    I guess it’s easier to undertake a massive infrastructure project if you can just tell residents to move it or else…

      Careful, you might get a ban from .ml for saying that

        Fuck ml. I am willing to bet the Chengdu one won’t survive the next 14 years. Or 5. But I am willing to give an half honest thumbs up to the tankies if it still stands in 2026.

      Also easier when you don’t need to worry you’ll be voted out for spending tax money on a massive infrastructure project.

        No, they do, the big difference is that they’ll be voted out and replaced by someone else from the same party.

        Because there’s only one party.

      Except China respects user rights to an insane degree and there’s many images of giant infra projects going around one tiny homestead and whatnot. My guess is also Chinese typically are less game to make a big deal about new transit compared to the home owners of Canada. Where’s the Toronto excuse now?
