because it was cheaper labor

at some point, eventually, maybe... american's will come to realise chinas economic growth and domination of manufacturing and technology is built on a far more sophisticated suite of policies (good and bad) then they have been brainwashed into believing.

huawei isn't huawei bc they pay their employees less.

you should jump on a plane and check it out, genuinely fun country to travel in and you will learn a lot.

my suburb is build on old light industrial area. close to everything, great transport and bike paths.

the main problem we have is land banking property developers just sit on land and wait for its value to go up so they can flip and make bank for doing nothing. also what gets built is to maximise profits not provide appropriate housing for all, so we get a lot of "executive suites" with italian tiles, european appliance and other wank shit that's only there to drive up the price.

the answer as always is good quality public housing available to all (see vienna and singapore).

counter argument: taco rice and spam isn't actually healthy, but lying about obachan being dead so you can keep pocketing her pension means you can buy more chu-hai.

or we could not sacrifice our very limited green space to property developers overlords?!

i'm not saying don't use green space better.. but keep it green.

ps: i live in a very high density area and love it... but build up not out.

This report, titled Our Changing Snowscapes: Climate Change Impacts and Recommendations for the Australian Alps developed by the Australian Mountain Research Facility and ANU, commissioned by Protect Our Winters Australia, reviews the current state of climate change impacts on the Australian Alps and puts forward recommendations for a better path forward. POW Australia commissioned this report as we found that the information on climate impacts in the Australian Alps was fragmented and outdated, with significant focus on snowfall and ecological impacts, and limited research on the social and economic consequences of climate change.

In commissioning this report, we have brought together the current breadth of knowledge of climate impacts and projections on the Australian Alps, looking specifically at a wide range of economic, social and environmental impacts. The spectacular Australian Alps extend over 1.6 million hectares of public land contained in 11 national parks and nature reserves across New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). They are home to nationally significant winter-tourism sectors, thriving and passionate regional communities and some of Australia's most unique and fragile landscapes.
