    Economic prosperity is not at the top of the list anymore

    Where is GhostofTarbera? He was advocating some time ago as well that hongkong-ers won’t take up the offer.

    I think if we would have allowed free borders some might have ended up in Spain or France/Germany putting less pressure on the housing market here.

    Btw prices are going up again ffs, I am still curious how people find money for it.
    If they are under 30, sadly most don't.

    Be kind. Reading between the lines, BR14 is planning to address his personal issues in 2021. We can expect some relapses but we should try to be supportive.
