    Is this satire? Ghost cities really just started to seriously get reported on in 2018 and subsequently more each following year. Also what the heck even is Justapedia? The opinion piece that the “2018 onwards” section is based on was released in 2018 itself and was proven wrong almost immediately. It’s outdated. Frankly, the section doesn’t even look like it belongs on the page and is phrased intentionally devious. It’s completely wrong.

        That’s even worse. This is almost a decade old and got absolutely nothing to do with the housing market today. Are we really pretending nothing has changed since 2015? Especially in China? Seriously? The argument in the beginning was precisely about ghost cities 2018 onwards and neither of you provided a source that‘s remotely recent or accurate today.

          Whatever dude. People are just mad that they’ve been misinformed. It happens to all of us.

          While most of these so-called ghost cities have failed to live up to their original promise, very few of them have actually failed completely and are hardly deserving of the nickname that’s been assigned to them. They may have to go back to the drawing board and set some more realistic goals. Most of them should become fully functioning cities eventually. All they need is a little more time.

      Which piece has been proven wrong?

      This one, this one, or this one?

      You didn’t just make that up to confirm your bias, did you? Can you please provide evidence that the state-level new area is unpopulated? Because my search says the population is 5.68 million.

        The very source of the page you just sent refers to an article from 2018. Do you understand there are cited sources? Did you not bother checking them?

          I invite anyone to verify that the “ghost cities,” are indeed, inhabited. Why do people choose to fight battles that are easily fact-checked. Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.

      China’s property glut is being eaten up by the rural-urban migration. It’s not a static demand market.
