&quot;over-bearing central planning&quot;<p>Ever heard of the city of Naypyidaw? It took about a decade to build in the middle of bumfuck Burma. It&#x27;s like 6 times the size of NYC, with 20 lane highways that are almost always empty. I guess they tried to make it seem luxurious, but the ghost-town vibe makes workers want to commute from Rangoon. I just heard about it on 60 minutes during a piece about Aung San Suu Kyi. She&#x27;s the badass whose party just won in the recent elections there. Which has nothing to do with the current thread, but I&#x27;m a rebel like that :)
