to people who say “free Hong Kong”

I didn't know there was a resurgence in a use of the phrase. You're saying that you still see people say it so commonly? Where? I thought the West generally quieted its mouth regarding the Hong Kong situation since around five years ago, ever since the unrest there was quelled in the midst of the disease outbreaks. Now it's all Russia-this and Israel-that. I don't think I've heard the phrase "Free Hong Kong" since the near-beginning of this decade.

Wasn't that place just a huge den of gang violence, poverty, and prostitution? Why should it have remained there?

it’s inherently a beautiful prototype of arcology. most people don’t see it that way, but it’s only been one of 2 successful arcological attempts, and both of these attempts never even tried to make it. that’s why when these big technological nations try to construct these giant buildings, most of them fail. have you heard of The Line by Saudi Arabia? You probably haven’t heard of what became of it, and only when they announced the entire thing. The entire plan was touted by the Saudi government to be a grand length of 170 kilometers, and able to house over 9 million people. This has been scaled back, and now 1.5 miles are planned, being able to house 300 thousand people. This is not even halfway done.

When these nations try to build these grand buildings that they envision, they mostly fail. But when it comes naturally, like the Kowloon Walled City and the Belgich Towers Condominium. It is successful. Kowloon was only demolished because it was a stain on Hong-Kongs supposed “futuristic” nature. The city ran pretty much on its own, I’m not trying to change your mind here, but despite most of the populace living in squalor, and the city being a giant fire hazard, they had a community, and a functional postal system. If the Hong Kong government allowed its existence, or renovated the place, it would’ve, should’ve, could’ve, been the greatest architectural structure on this earth.

Interesting. I guess, from an architectural perspective, it was pretty unique. Thank you for the explanation.
