That’s not what I said, but I love how you misquoted me in the framework of your own personal warped version of reality.
Read the subtext of the article. This location was obviously selected for a politically motivated reason, and I’d be interested to know what that was i.e. was it a general show of power (boring), or was it some hyper specific personal conflict with a prominent member of the club and a CCP party member (interesting).
That doesn’t mean the intent behind the CCP policy isn’t good, well intentioned, or positive. But that’s not surprising to me, so it’s not very interesting. What drove the politics behind the decision to raze a Golf Course to spite HK elite, is very interesting, at least to me.
the primary motivation behind this decision was. Obviously it wasn’t building public housing

Can you see how I’m confused, do you think the primary intent is for public housing, or for some political drama?
It could be some political drama, we’ll never know what goes on in the HK city council, but if you read the article you’ll see this site wasn’t selected so much as it’s lease was up and the city would be taking back control of it and they needed to do something with it. Yeah some high official could’ve been waiting for the course to come back into city hands so they could build public housing over it and snub a rival, but I think it’s far more likely that the property fell into the cities hands and they decided to turn it into affordable housing because that’s what the city needs.
