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.
An aldermanic discussion is as follows. “Any of you have a way to destroy more neighborhoods in the city?”
“Yeah, I got an idea.”
These alder people want anti-gentrification in low-income neighborhoods but low rent in high-income neighborhoods.
It is ironic that they go crazy when developers build expensive housing in cheap neighborhoods but demand they build cheap housing in expensive neighborhoods.
