$9,000 per square foot for real estate in Hong Kong is a bargain compared with Ginza in 1989. en.wikipedia.org where $90,000 per square foot was the going rate back in the day before Big Ben and Uncle Al KBE accelerated US$ to financial relativity theory warp speed. The Japanese were clearly superior to the hordes of Han who should get their bidding underway to reach such ascendancy and prove they have got it too.

It looks as though I should have gone ahead and bought that premium penthouse near Beijing train station a few years ago before the property price raging got going in earnest. It would at least have been a suitable eyrie from which to view proceedings during northern summers.

I wonder if it had foundations. It did have concrete and at least some steel [or some plastic material that looked like steel]. The concrete was hard enough to walk on without crumbling.

You can buy houses around me for $200 a square foot and further afield for $100 a square foot.

I will monitor your hubris in preparation for shorting your house in Hong Kong. How many Nobels have been awarded IN CHINA again? We are not discussing Nobels awarded to people learning among and working for and with Anglos and Jews even if they did flee from China. You racists often get confused about things like that. It wasn't a question of how intelligent are people with predominantly Made in China genes. It was a question of the outcomes of the goose stepping culture of repression. When bright children are made into nails and hit on the head with authoritarian hammers, it's a waste of good iron.

Well, monitoring your hubris is pointless - you seem already at full scale deflection. Perhaps some hysterical irrational exuberance will encroach too. But I can monitor your associates' hubris levels by reading between the lines of the posts you kindly provide from Players 2, 3, 4, 11, 20 etc.
