Ye gods.

The stunning images of Hong Kong ‘living cubicles’ that look just like Borg cubes

I defy *anyone* who has known wide open spaces to look at the photos there and go “Yeah, that’s for me.”

This is *exactly* the sort of thing a great many people want, for political purposes. People warehoused like this are easier to dominate an control; of necessity, they become dependent upon government services and will thus vote for increasingly powerful government.  such people will trade freedom for promises of services and security, protection from their fellow man who is separated from them by at most a few inches of drywall and air.
