Housing schmousing... how about we try making housing the solution?
We could consider petitioning the mandarins of the "Executive Council" to consider suggesting the Chief Beijing Representative who only reports to the "Liaison Office" that the ordinary toilet-paper class also needs housing.
While waiting we could perhaps hope that Alibaba Media brings housing up as the solution because there we could also engage in further solution-making with the resident Motherland people who know better and can teach us all about the facts of life.
I mean, if housing isn't the solution what is? There just isn't any way of finding out.
Drugging the pro-dem troublemakers, giving them a free (!) highspeed rail trip and lending them a one acre lot of melting permafrost on certain western high plateau (where hostile foreign media doesn't meddle) along with a sack of cement? Instant win-win housing solution for the patriotic Chinese.
