    Remember those big projects lately are planning to make Buildings like this. It seems like they never seen this place and thought that it is a good idea.
    There is a Game based on this place. Kinda cool Dystopian place but scary at the same time. It was run by syndicates and mafia-like groups.

      One of the reasons Kowloon City atracted so many was cause they didn't pay taxes.
      Hence why there were a bunch of factories and restaurants and doctors and dentist, both licenced and unlicenced. Hence why People tokerated living there
      So even if make a city like Kowloon city but make people pay taxes, chances are none will want to live there

      Overpopulation doesn't mean just space, it also means resources and energy...
      I'm pro depopulation, just stop producing, retire the current living when they reach retirement age, and pump out perfect engineered clones and AI powered robots, we don't need the old humanity that relied on impossible RNG and human relationships to produce a minimally capable human.

    • @Teronix100
      @Teronix100 7 месяцев назад +7

      overpopulation has nothing to to with space problems.
      At least in the current discussion.
      It is about resource consumption and production.
      Eg.: Can we produce enough food for the future.
      Also about inderict problems this consumption and production bring.
      Like climate change -> eg. food produchion uncertainties, more destruction due to weather and animal species that can't adapt.
      space discussion is about, sealing environmental and farming areas for unnecesary stuff

      @@Teronix100i would argue that utilization of space is a very important aspect of all those things you mentioned, for example food uncertainty, while mostly due in my opinion to chaotic situation many food producers face: taxes, ground pollution, armed conflicts etc. , is caused in part by our overreach into what would be excellent farm land and cutting that space for land developers, going further and further,
      I do agree with you on your points, but there always was something about things like abandoned buildings that frustrated me, such a waste

    If anyone wants to know more about kowloon, theres a book called "city of darkness" which a professional photographer went in and took a bunch of fascinating photos of the place and held interviews with residents and city workers about kowloon, theres a really interesting interview with an electrician who worked there on the book's website.

      The crazy thing was, it was a LIVING city. Because it was so dense like that, there was no city planning. Shops and routes would gradually change over time and the only maps were the ones in a resident's memories. You'd go *through* an apartment building, down some stairs onto a path with a shop and doors, go back up another flight of stairs... Just to get to somewhere that was technically next door. Add in the constant soft glow of electric lights and darkness softening the edges, a strong sense of community even among the criminal element... For all its dangers and issues, the former residents all look back on it fondly, with a sort of romanticized view. Super interesting to study!

    The smell was probably not even noticeable by the residents. It’s the same kinda thing as a not cat owner entering a house with cats. Like if you our I were to go into a place like that, the smell would be sickening but to the people living there, they were used to the smell. The cat thing was just an example.
