Where policy meets systems

[Ewen Yu 余悅 @ewenkahryu]

In Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Guangzhou things move fast.
Then you return to policy debates in smaller economies and the tempo feels very different.
The real question: are policies calibrated for the speed of the region?

Most people live inside one narrative.

Country
Language
Career
Social circle

Some of us accidentally end up running five narratives at once.

Some economic systems you understand from policy papers.
Others you understand from a bus ride between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

Housing at scale is infrastructure.
When housing systems fail, the consequences show up everywhere else.

On the streets.
In social services.
In policing.

Housing policy is economic policy.

Curious how policymakers are thinking about this.

@daihenwood @JaquieBrown Sending you much love and aroha bro - I had my first colonoscopy last year at 36 years old and it revealed to be only hemorrhoids. I can’t imagine the battle you went through and the ongoing battles!

[Ewen Yu 余悅 @ewenkahryu]

@mikeythenurse This is HUGE! Congrats my bro!

[Ewen Yu 余悅 @ewenkahryu]

[Ewen Yu 余悅 @ewenkahryu]

@mikeythenurse You got an account? I tried it and it’s shit - mainly because I have no friends 😔
