        <description><![CDATA[Absolutely fascinating. From Wikipedia:&quot;It was a very complex place, difficult to generalise about, a place that seemed frightening but where most people continued to lead normal lives. A place just like the rest of Hong Kong. ???Leung Ping Kwan, City of Darkness, p. 120Over time, both the British and the Chinese governments found the City to be increasingly intolerable, despite the low reported crime rate. The quality of life in the City???sanitary conditions in particular???was far behind the rest of Hong Kong.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[as he / she / it has no life other than to go on and on and on showing everyone else's errors to make himself / herself / itself look intelligent.  Time to give it a rest GP as this angle is now old and dead.  Remember that an intelligent mind is a flexible mind.I also found the article interesting.  Maybe not perfectly polished but interesting.     Tuan may not have a full grasp of English but I'm sure that it will improve.  Maybe he was tap typing on an iPAD.  LOL.This is not a technical topic with facts and figures so some small mistakes are forgiven.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As a libertarian, I like the approach Mr. Nguyen took in writing this article. He describes how most of mankind likes to live in peace and solve their problems ingeniously even under the most horrible conditions. What was missing was a limited government to enforce contracts, protect property rights, and punish those who used force, deception or fraud against others. I very much enjoyed reading this article.B.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[No editor?&quot;As many as 50,000 residents, many of which several who were squaters [sic], were crammed into the 6-acre settlement that once served as a Chinese military outpost.&quot;&quot;In fact, the city's rooftops actually served as an important gathering place, enabling nieghbors [sic] to bond and help one another endure the miserable conditions.&quot;&quot;That's because even from such a remote viewpoint, the squaler [sic] was unavoidable.  Dwellings were built entirely without the help of architects and many apartments were so small (about 250 squre [sic] feet) that garbage, TVs, and water tanks were stored on rooftops.&quot;&quot;Conditions improved in the 60s and 70's [sic] when a police crackdown led to over 2,500 arrests and the confiscation of over 4,000 pounds of drugs.&quot;]]></description>
