Doesn't work, China built entire ghost cities and they were all bought up by investment firms and the prices remained sky high.

looking at China and applying that example to the US is absurd, these are entirely different situations

for one the "ghost towns" of China are in places no one wants to live, the complete opposite of what the US (or anyone) needs to do
