This 15 minute PBS show about how Singapore deliberately chose to go green and lush in its urban environment is a good explanation of why I love visiting there. It's basically like a techno/green, capitalist/socialist vision of how the future should look (and work):
I also gather from the enthusiastic comments following (mostly from Americans) that a lot of people hadn't realised that the place looks like this now. And its nice to see that so many who have visited it are big fans of the place, like me.
And a final comment: it's a little amusing to watch the poor host start to show clear sweat on his shaved head during the interview with the Chinese woman architect/planner who looks cool and composed throughout. I guess it has something to do with acclimatisation. (He could also have taken his coat off.)
It’s amazing what people can do if they are run locally, not from Keynesianism and Jewish bankers. Imagine what we could do terraforming Australia, were we not serving foreign degenerates? We have so much more to work with than Singapore.
