MEGACITY

Last night during the State of the Union, President Obama talked about building up the country’s infrastructure and investing in education.  Thank god!  Not that it’s a competition with China, who is heavily investing in its future like a Tiger mom would, while we continue to invest in our past with enormous entitlement programs, but China is building a MEGACITY!

City planners are hoping to combine nine cities along the Pearl River Delta to make one huge 42 million person metropolis.  According to The Telegraph there are 150 infrastructure projects that will bring the transport, energy, water and telecommunication networks of the nine cities together.  The project will take six years and cost the country $300 billion.


I want to get out to the Hamptons just thinking about the new megacity.
