For people who find this video interesting, I'd recommend also visiting the Walled City Wikipedia entry. Apparently the overall crime rate there was no higher than it was elsewhere in HK. Almost seems a pity that it was demolished in the 90s.

Cool. For reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City Never have I seen such a psuedo-photoshopped photo within an infobox on the 'Wik. Nice park now. BUT NO SMOKING! wtf. (Although I admit it, I've smoked there anyway... just wait for an old dude to light up beside you. Cops won't harass you that way.)

I often reference this post and revisit this video. I still can't believe that this place exists. I've wondered if any of the chinese grocers in the US get any products made here?

What an amazing insight in to a very dystopian place. I'm not sure why, but this reminds me of the film "Brazil".
Libertarianism?

Yeah can't wait till there are enough people here to make a regular #anarchism tag. This video might be a good troll.
When Facebook was kind of new I put a pic of North Korea at night on my wall. You know, the ones where South Korea and China are all lit up but the DPRK is pitch black. I wrote "North Korea at night. We can learn a thing or two about conservation from these guys." Next day I had a slew of environmentalist activist friends agreeing with me in the comments section! Took it down; people must have thought I was serious.
