There are a ton of people in China that “own” a home or property, but it isn’t even built or usable. There are scores of ghost cities across China that were built as part of an economic bubble.
There’s a ton of room for improvement in North America, and I’m not going to discount the fact that we need more smaller homes, and condos to be able to allow people to own a piece of property. However China’s metric is completely out of whack.
While I agree those are major issues, the other big reason is that we have a lot of countries doing a lot of PsyOps on our nation. That’s what happens when you’re the “world power” and people want to bring you down. The Chinese outnumber us 2.5 to 1 and the Russians and North Koreans are happy to help. As are the Iranians, half of South America and a number of middle eastern countries. It’s sort of inevitable. The problem is that when we started making and deploying this technology we put zero safe guards in place to protect the average American from this.
