“It is wrong in today’s climate” to take back part of the golf course, he added, at a time when Hong Kong desperately wants to attract businesses and people from overseas.
Nice fucking word choice, climate, yeah, that's the word I wanna use.
Somehow their poisoned grass fields with zero animal life are environmental
The surface of Venus is technically an environment
I'd also be okay with someone calling their bluff and turning the thing into a nature reserve or park.
raising questions over whether the interests of the wealthy clans are even a major concern to the top leadership.
ughhhh this fucking wording
Do these communists even care about the ultra-wealthy? Is a great line and we should say it more
I knew a guy who was complaining that the Chinese state seized his capital investments. He did not like it when I tried to explain that expecting the communist party to look after your capital and then getting mad when they take it is not reasonable
But also good and I'm glad he's mad
First they came after the developers, and I said nothing, for I wasn't a developer. Then they came for the landlords, and I said nothing, for I wasn't a landlord. ...
oh no I said something: lol, lmao even
Bro do you even care about the super wealthy?!
FUCK. GOLF.
FUCK. GRASS. IT HAS NO ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE.
HOUSE THE PEOPLE.
No Dirt Owl, you're supposed to just touch the grass, not fuck it!
Too late I have grass babies now deal with it
Can you please babysit? I hate kids
This article had us fucking rolling, it reads like a joke news story in a video game. These people are malding so much over their precious golf that they're stumbling over each other to embarrass themselves about it.
The idea of redeveloping golf courses into housing is much more mature in Singapore, where the government laid out a plan in 2014 for how it will balance the need for housing with golfing.
The wealthy clans can't live without their golf! This is cultural genocide!
balance the need for housing with golfing
ah yes those famously equal needs
This article has me rock hard.
I've conferred with my colleagues at the Vocel Halls of Justice and we are prepared to give special dispensation. This time.
This is what I mean when I say "free Hong Kong"
If there is one flaw in this beautiful story, it's that they aren't reclaiming enough to prevent people from playing golf there entirely
This made me look up whether Xi golfs, and I found this gem from CNN in 2017:
Xi, an avid soccer fan, isn’t known to be a golfer – and he’s been waging a war on the sport in his country.
Since he came to power nearly five years ago, Xi’s government has shut down scores of golf courses across China and effectively banned the 88 million members of the ruling Communist Party from playing.
There is hope yet
he's prolly lying about being a soccer fan, i bet he just hates golf
china men's soccer still garbage
Mr Zeman argued that shrinking the golf course hits at the heart of the way business is done in the city. “A lot of deals are done on the golf course all over the world for business people,” he said
I love the admission that these freaks just go play golf all day instead of doing actual work.
Anarchists socialists
"Fuck golf."
China attaining levels of winning that no mere liberal could have imagined
Today my inner china struggle session has decided china good
Compromise idea: Build 18 buildings roughly in the footprint of the greens of each hole, and put the golf course on top. Golfers can either take 2 elevators between holes, or walk a tightrope.
Yeah, they must be yearning for freedom right now.
Please President Biden, my billionaires yearn for golf courses.
Here's the course, by the way. It's about a mile long. It has three 18-hole courses.
It should be noted that this isn't in the city of Hong Kong, it's in the relatively less developed north end of the Special Administrative Region, just south of Shenzhen. About a fifth of the course is going to be repossessed, I don't know whether that's of the whole thing or just one of the courses.
Fucking excuse me? Is that the "entrance fee" or a lifetime membership? They pay how much to whack a ball around with a stick?
Think of how many people they could help with that money, how many poor and suffering people in the wardrobe sized apartments next to the golf course struggling to survive.
The worst part about this is that these fuckers won't be on the golf course when it gets bulldozed.
citing ecological
You don't understand, this unnatural gras monoculture is very important for the environment!!
the golfing will stop
This fucking rules.
I wonder when the libs from other instances will show up to tell us that golf courses are good acktually
I see you tankies are cheering on another genocide against a minority group in China. This is erasure of millionaire and billionaire culture, and you Russian CCP whataboutism bots are cheering for it!
siiiiiigh... tommy need drinky
Golf and it's consequences have been disastrous for the human race.
...but jokes aside fuck golf!!!! I will never understand the appeal of that "sport". My grandparents used to watch it on TV religiously and It blows my mind.
Mr Li Ning, the son-in-law of Hong Kong’s fourth-richest person Lee Shau Kee, attended one such event in June to oppose the plan on the grounds that it would harm the development of golf in Hong Kong, according to local media.
bourgeois spawn cares about the real oppressed minority (golf players).
The golf course provides too little cover for a properly sporting billionaire hunt
First they came for the golf courses, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a golf course.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
