The disaster is that there is human demand for tens of thousands more of these that living, breathing people could actually live in but instead economic policy and capital distribution is geared towards building NFTs in the sky for Russian and Chinese billionaires.

It sounds like Russians and Chinese are to be blamed. I bet American billionaires had been involved decades earlier, including all American and European funds. Our tycoons lobbied our legislators and regulators way before the foreign billionaires came to riches and realized they may make money on our market as well.
