    about to read this but elsewhere saw a claim that in CN real estate is typically used as collateral for loans and i wonder if in this light you can view giant ghost cities as primarily a store of value in china which makes them make quite a lot more sensehttps://twitter.com/HarrierMagnus/status/1442358612383260674 …

    This is really good. Fantastic, comprehensive summary of what's up right now with Evergrande & the Chinese economy. https://carnegieendowment.org/chinafinancialmarkets/85391 …

        in this light you dont see them as malinvestment, you see them as a means of getting around . . . what exactly? i guess a second consideration is that deposits get shit interest for varying reasons so yeah use real estate as a store of value, you can expect a good return

        i dont think its crazy, there are stranger forms of money around the world prisoners used to use packs of cigarettes, now cans of mackerel are used the curious case of Yap stones china joins their ranks with giant empty apartments as a store of value if not money per se

        although even there apparently evergrande is trying to pay some debts not with yuan but with apartments so im not sure that its even crazy to call them money proper maybe not quite a unit of value but something close to the extent its near standardized

        Yes, as the "store of value" that is colloquially known as "money laundering schemes."

        What's so special about that? Have you not heard of a HELOC or a reverse mortgage?
