Lots of young people went on the street to protest and the whole of society was shaken. In the name of “development”, real estate developers, with the help of the government, are making huge profits by tearing down affordable housing and replacing it with luxurious apartments. The capitalists are being allowed to exploit the land, as well as the people who live there.
