Complained the countries that have housing crisis.

I rather a place were growing population get to live comfortably over an empty space for rich people to kick a ball around.

I have no love for golf courses, but also no faith in the Chinese economy to actually deliver on this (obviously satirical) proposal.

Watch this video. Those massive half-built apartment complexes are not meant for people to live in, they're investments to own ~~by the kind permission of pooh bear~~. They're basically treated like NFTs that occupy real space and never get finished because there is no profit in making them livable once they have an owner.

You don't kick a golf ball, typically.

This is public housing, meaning the funding is coming from the government. They'll be lucky if it gets as far as quarter built.
