My apologies if I jumped to conclusions. It's a sensitive night for me
It seems part of your comment may be alluding to today, the anniversary of the Itaewon crowd crush.

I want to emphasize that Halloween was not commodified or appropriated to express dissent here. It was a very localized phenomenon primarily celebrated in the traditional "foreigner neighborhood" near the now mostly defunct yongsan army base.

The deaths were a failure of the government, on several levels, to control excessive crowding in alleyways. Our friends that died that day were not protesting, they were just out having fun

It was added as context for why someone might be carrying a wooden plank at 2 in the morning and why police might be concerned. It is my understanding that Hackney has changed dramatically in the intervening years

Housing is incredibly expensive. Roughly half of Korea lives and works in the Seoul metro area. The average salary is roughly 40,000 USD and the average apartment (maybe 84 square meters) is over 1 million USD.

Government efforts to cool housing inflation have resulted in a 40 percent minimum down payment for a mortgage.

Housing in Seoul and much of Gyeonggi is a pipe dream for most

Is your area already well mapped? I opened up the app to find more than 5000 tasks within a 20 minute walk of my place
Can you provide these sources?

I heard prompt engineer is the six figure job of the future
I would imagine that other powers of the world would support some kind of invasion if the strait were to remain closed for a long period of time
Not at all, I'm just saying he has a shitty position
His idea of functioning poverty in that video seems to involve shanty towns and more "side hustles" for the poor.

His heart may be in the right place but he may be too rich for this conversation. He comes off as more than a little bit out of touch here
