Dissolving the States would allow for interesting and varied cultures to emerge; #architecture and #housing that reflect what #local residents appreciate rather than that of a State that is easily corrupted by a few #politicalDonations from the likes of the #PropertyCouncil (a highly active #SuperPac/lobby group for #realEstate moguls in Australia).

The big risk of going local is from #largeCorporations that may seek to use their wealth to overwhelm Local Governments, but…

@cooopsspace @ghost_shit this would never even be considered by the #PropertyCouncil sponsored #nsw government. Not to mention realestate.com.au owner #newscorpse , which seems sway #nswpol but SFA influence with the #vicpol ! #vacancytax

(2/2)… we disolved State Govts entirely?

Eg. the UK don't have state govts.

Could #localCouncils manage #townPlanning as a #federation.

StateGovt functions can likely be replaced by Committees of a greater number of national MPs.

State Govt have become corrupted, engaging in #rentSeeking and known to take #politicalDonations from #realEstate and #propertyDeveloper groups through #SuperPac's like the #PropertyCouncil.

What do you think? Are State Govts replaceable?

@localish
Wow, they used people of Asian decent there too. We almost thought it would be localised and they would talk about wealthy Californians wanting a second summer home or some crap like that. They are inventive like that.

In Australia we have a seedy interestGroup called the #PropertyCouncil (non-govt #councils are suspicious) and they put out daily #pressReleases in local #MurdochRags to spruik the #realEstate market.

The trick is to not produce vast #inequalities.

Real #democracy can work. Its just persistently undermined by the #legacyMedia and well-lubricated #publicRelations, #thinkTanks and #lobbyists, with connections the #centralBanks and #merchantBanks.

There was a time when these people were killed, in #Russia and #France, if memory serves. We are not properly equipped to handle the problem today.

Open question to those who bought into the whole, 'lock-up-and-leave' trope pushed by #bigRealEstate…

How does it feel to simply be 'locked up'?

Hearing about how over-leveraged (read: over-#invested) #investors in #China are being forced to sell their #investments at huge discounts warms our cold, cold heart.

They want govt support.

The places they built are awful — they should probably go to prison as #environmentalVandals to pay off the #debt.
