    I don’t knock them for over production, but build quality is a more common problem that I saw. Also not a fan of not being able to own the apartment, but their availability is dope. Their public transit is also dope, both inter and intra city transit.

      Take a look at the build quality of $500,000 homes that are being built in the US today. They are absolute shit with some sparkly trim that stays nice long enough to distract you until the warranty expires.

        $500k house with shitty laminate floors and MDF trim lmfao spoiler alert it’s because the builders only care about money, craftsmanship is dead.

        And that’s more in line with the builds I saw over in China. I’m not defending our build quality (certainly not post 08 when a lot of construction companies went down or merged).

      definitely way higher incidence of build quality issues than the US but at most they seem to be at least as rare as US car crashes

        I dunno, it was almost an every building thing I saw. We had a floating ceiling grate collapse all along our walkway in the middle of the day. Big rusty snarled mess.
