Do you have a source for the housing thing?
In terms of the rail having air resistance that feels a bit of a Fox News point. It’s not perfect so why bother with anything but loads of big cars?
The sheer amount of rail rolled out in the last 10 years dwarfs anything any other country is doing.
The housing situation is notably better though. They’ve got some good ideas (also the high speed rail).
All (or a lot of) the apartments in cities are leased from the government for 99 years.
And so the prices are incredibly reasonable for an average living space. No greedy layers of middlemen trying to suck passive income out of you.
I’m sure there’s examples of where it’s bad, but from what I’ve seen, their housing situation is pretty enviable.
If people aren’t adopting it, it’s not a boom.
It’s an investment boom.
Honestly, if people successfully using adblockers were a worthwhile market, we’d have seen laws against adblockers years ago.
