So what she's saying in this article is that the physical poles on which street lights reside represent what will soon become valuable real estate. She's probably right. But what I worry about regarding street lighting and anythi

Nah man, it will be cultural genocide. It's already happened significantly...I don't know else how to explain it without being obtuse. Go to Hong Kong, talk to some people there, ask them how things used to be. Go to Shenzhen,
