    Isn’t the housing situation significantly worse in China? You put entire down payments and then pay the mortgage for the house to still yet be built. And last year so many defaults happened that no houses were being built and no one was being returned their money when they wanted out.

    The grass is not greener on their side. It’s still fucked, just a different fucked.

          You do know that every house belongs to the government in case of need, right? In every country (except maybe Somalia).
