Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
The problem with this is that its really difficult to get tenants who stop paying rent to start paying rent again. May rent will come due and they’ll have a large electricity bill and car payment. June will be child support and the credit card. July will be, well, some bill other than rent. What a nightmare, I would never recommend being a property owner in Chicago.
