    You clearly don't understand why studies on animals can be poor predictors of human behavior but I am going to estimate that by this time next year you will.

    LOL. so you are going on record as saying housing cost have nothing to do with supply and demand at all? No connection to over crowding? LOL . Wouldn't it be smarter to just admit I have a point? Maybe this article will help.

    Do you even read the responses of other members?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Yup. But right now I don't see the logic in your responses.

    No, you simply refuse to address the facts. Other cities ranking among the top ten in housing prices are not experiencing riots and insurrection. Obviously, there's a lot more going in Hong Kong.

    It took you years to acknowledge your error on prison demographics despite repeated citations. I expect far more from you than you can give. Never mind.

    Still, housing prices and overpopulation have nothing to do with the current situation in Hong Kong.

    Oh, I'm sorry , I forgot where I said that there were no other factors. Probably because I NEVER SAID THAT!
