Where do you draw your hope? Where do you draw your strength?

'Linsanity' Details Rise of Asian-American Basketball Star

HONOLULU — A record 92 foreign players from 39 countries began this season in the professional U.S. basketball league, but none is from Asia.
At the moment, there is only one Asian-American player in the U.S. National Basketball Association (NBA) and his name is Jeremy Lin.

Unlikely journey


A new documentary, Linsanity, follows Lin's unlikely journey to become a breakout NBA star last season.
Born and raised in California, Lin has always loved the game and even led his high school basketball team to the state championship. But no college offered him an athletic scholarship.
Lin ended up playing at Harvard, a school known for its academics, where he broke Ivy League basketball records. Still, no NBA team drafted him.

As Lin struggled to prove he could play in the professional league, a group of Asian-American filmmakers began documenting his rocky start.

Rocky start

"We started this four years ago. You know, as a filmmaking team we went through the same journey that he [Lin] went through," said Evan Jackson Leong, who directed the project. "You know, getting cut. As his downs were going down, we were also going down with our project, because no one really cared about what was going on with our project."
Leong kept the cameras rolling during some of Lin's darkest hours, even after the free agent point guard was cut twice from NBA teams. The filmmakers initially planned to create a web series about Lin, never imagining how things would turn out.
The documentary captures the story of an underdog trying to break through barriers in a sport where Asian-Americans are extremely rare.

Breaking barriers

Lin recalls being on the receiving end of racial taunts from spectators and other players early in his career. 
"When I was growing up, I was playing in the AAU [amateur] tournaments. We’d be playing games, and a couple times people would be like, 'Yo, take your ass back to China,' or like 'You’re a Chinese import,' or whatever. When I got to college, it just, like, got crazy. 'You Chink, can you even open your eyes? Can you see the scoreboard?' You know, just like crazy stuff."
Despite it all, he fought to stay in the game. When the New York Knicks finally gave him a chance to play in 2012, no one expected he would lead his team on such an amazing winning streak, it would spark a global phenomenon known as "Linsanity.”

The film recounts how Lin became an overnight media sensation and also how some members of the media used racial stereotypes and innuendos to describe him.
One ESPN broadcaster commented about Lin, "He’s handled everything very well as you said, unflappable. But if there’s a chink in the armor, where can Lin improve his game?"

Changing perceptions


By breaking stereotypes, co-producer Brian Yang said Lin is changing perceptions and helping pave the way for more diversity in the sport.
"NBA teams are now giving other Asian-American athletes a second look," Yang said. "I think Jeremy's story has affected the way coaches and recruiters...think and that's important."
In the documentary, Lin credits his faith for guiding him throughout his journey. And that made it especially meaningful for his cousin, Allen Lu, who also helped produce the film.
"For me, the thing that I draw a lot from the journey that we’ve been through is that, is like, where do you draw your hope? Where do you draw your strength?," said Lu. "And for Jeremy and myself, and a lot of us here, you know, we’re Christians. And that’s where we draw our strength."

Christopher Chen, another co-producer, was moved by the audience reaction when Linsanity premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
"We had always thought that after Linsanity [premiered], this will hopefully impact the Asian community, the Asian-American community," Chen said. "But what was most impactful to me is when you have middle-aged white women and Latino women, and older black gentlemen, coming up to us, [saying] 'Thank you for telling that story.' That was very inspirational."

Now 25, Jeremy Lin continues to inspire children and young people through his charitable foundation. And on the court, he’s now making millions of dollars playing for the Houston Rockets, one of the NBA teams that once cut him from its roster.

Killed By Testicles

Woman Kills Man By Squeezing His Testicles

 
The man on the graphic photo below is a 42-year-old shop owner in the Meilan District of Haikou City, in Hainan, that big island south of mainland China. He is dead. A 41-year-old woman killed him. By squeezing his testicles.

Update: Yes, you can die from extreme testicular pain. Here's the scientific explanation, by urologist and San Diego Sexual Medicine's director Dr. Irwin Goldstein.

According to witnesses talking to China News 24, the woman was riding a scooter and tried to park it in front of the man's shop. She was going to pick up her son, who attends the elementary school in that neighborhood.

The man went out of the shop and told her that she couldn't park her scooter there. She protested and a the shouting match started. After a while they started to fight physically. The woman called her husband and brother, who came to the scene. But things got a lot worse than just a few smacks here and there: the woman grabbed the man's testicles and squeezed them so hard and long that the man shutdown. He collapsed on the ground out of the pain and, worse, he was dead. Yes, people. dead by ballsqueeze.

The paramedics tried to revive him on the spot to no avail. He was rushed to the hospitals, but doctors couldn't do anything for him. I really want to know what the death certificate says. And I really want to know how the hell one can die from ballsqueezing.

A Hole In Chinese Condoms - Warning !

Ghana seizes 'faulty Chinese condoms'

The FDA said the condoms were also not adequately lubricated

About 230,000 people in Ghana are living with HIV

More than 110 million Chinese-made condoms have been seized in Ghana after laboratory tests revealed they were faulty, Ghanaian officials have said.

"There are holes in them and... the condoms burst easily," a Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) spokesman told the BBC.

The condoms were being distributed free as part of an HIV/Aids prevention campaign by the Ghana Health Service.

About 200 million of the faulty condoms are believed to have been imported into the country.

The BBC's Sammy Darko in the capital, Accra, says the condom packaging is silvery white with a red Aids ribbon incorporated into the design and the words "Be Safe" also in red.

The FDA has issued an alert about their safety.

Thomas Amedzro, head of drug enforcement at the FDA, said the condoms had been imported via Kenya from a Chinese manufacturer.

All imported condoms are supposed to be tested by the FDA before distribution, he said.

"Somehow there was a lapse; the batches of the condoms were not submitted as duly required for the appropriate testing to be conducted," he told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.

Anybody using them could be "exposed to sexually transmitted infections or be saddled with unwanted pregnancies", Mr Amedzro said.

"You may not be able to see the holes with your naked eye but when you look at it under the microscope you can see holes," he said.'

They were also not adequately lubricated, the FDA said.

Our reporter says the health service took delivery of the condoms in February this year, but they arrived in the country in the last quarter of 2012.

"Since the alert went out, a number of individuals and organisations have already reported to us that they have stocks, which we are already retrieving," Mr Amedzro said.

A publicity campaign was underway to ensure that all the other unsafe condoms were found, he added.

According to UN figures, an estimated 230,000 people in Ghana, which has a population of 25 million, are living with HIV.

The Most Handsome Beggar Becomes Famous Online

Fashionable beggar becomes famous online, encounters human flesh search




“Those sad eyes/that sad expression, the sad mustache, the miraculous godly hair, and that messy hair, all of it has deeply captivated me.” …Recently, a very hot/popular beggar post has become famous on the internet, the post narrating what netizens have hailed as “The Ultimate Gorgeous #1 Passerby Handsome Guy” beggar. Owing to his unconventional, nondescript appearance as well as his original “mashup”, netizens have begun following him, even “human flesh searching” him.

Ningbo’s Handsome Guy Beggar is just a poor/pitiful guy

Many netizens have sent me messages asking me to verify whether that latest famous handsome guy begger is really a beggar. Here I will testify that it can be said that he is.

Long ago in 2008 I encountered him. Most people who see him will avoid him, treating him as a beggar and the link, but actually this is not accurate. 乞丐 [qǐgài "beggar"] in our country’s ancient words first appeared as a monosyllabic word. The meaning of 乞 [qǐ] in the golden texts was “to beg”. But he does not beg, nor does he know how to beg, because he has psychological problems (in Ningbo they call it “great fog sickness”). They do not have an identity, they do not have family, they’ve even forgotten who they are. They are a group of people abandoned by society, and their final outcome is to die without anyone inquiring about them. They wander in the space between humans and animals. Help them a bit and they become humans, ignore them and they are animals.

He once said this to me: “Find a girl to love me.”

Naked Sunbathing On Apartment - See Through The Window

Woman Seen Sunbathing Naked, Suspected of Being Prostitute





“What’s going on in the building across”

My wife saw this on Sina Weibo and sent this to me which I then immediately followed. I don’t want to enjoy this alone, so I’m sharing it with all SB perverts still up late at night.

As an ordinary everyday pervert, I’ve indeed never seen anything big, but just as I stopped to look out the window, I was stupefied by what I saw. A woman, who appears to be a ** [prostitute], welcoming the sun indoors [sunbathing], but what more, showing off her privates towards several hundred offices! At that moment, I became determined to watch her actions every day, and write a diary for her. 2011 April 8th, clear [weather/skies].

[The diary entries that accompanied each of the pictures were not particularly interesting although they express suspicions that the woman is a prostitute and engages in threesomes.]

Baring breasts in broad daylight, how open the beauty in the building across is


Most people believe that women are more conservative/protective than men when it comes to matters of the body, but actually that is not so. In daily life, many women are more open than men. I lived in Guangzhou for a time, and while I was there several friends told me that there is a lot of good scenery to look at out the window. At first, I really thought there was good scenery, but only after looking did I realize it was a beautiful woman who bathed without even closing her window, her upper body completely visible. Today, seeing the news below [the photos above], I feel like the times have changed, that things have become more and more open/liberal. This beauty is not only exposing her breasts in broad daylight, she’s also exposing her own privates, truly without any sense of shame. I hope that other beauties will learn from this, otherwise they too could be secretly photographed and exposed on the internet!

This poster found this netizen named “What’s going on in the building across” on Weibo [a Chinese microblogging service like Twitter]. Amongst his microblog posts, the set of photos and diary that have been spreading online have already been deleted. On another microblog [account], though the photos have been deleted, the diary still remains. On Baidu Tieba [or "Baidu Post Bar", an online discussion forum], a netizen reposted the contents and photos of “What’s going on in the building across”, one post wrote: “[...] Just as I stopped to look out the window, I was stupefied by what I saw. A woman, who appears to be a ** [prostitute], welcoming the sun indoors [sunbathing], but what more, showing off her privates towards several hundred offices! At that moment, I became determined to watch her actions every day, and write a diary for her.” The date of posting was 2011 April 8th, and attached to it was a photograph. From the photograph, this poster can see through a window with its curtains open in the building across a stark naked female casually lying on the a bed directly facing the window.

Fated To Love You Naked Scandal

Chen Qiao En does sexy photoshoot; drinks red wine to gain confidence



Joe Chen Chiau-En (traditional Chinese: 陳喬恩; simplified Chinese: 陈乔恩; pinyin: Chén Qiáo'ēn, Chen Chiao-en, born 4 April 1979) is a Taiwanese actress, singer and model. She is the co-leader of Taiwanese group 7 Flowers and is also the first female member of the talent agency Jungiery. Her interest lies mainly in acting and writing and she does well in both fields. She was the female lead in the 2nd highest-rated Taiwanese drama "The Prince Who Turns Into a Frog" 《王子變青蛙》, and was a hostess in two TV shows -- "Treasure Hunter" 《冒險奇兵》and《型男大主厨》. In 2008 she once again rose to stardom in a new drama "Fated To Love You" 《命中注定我愛你》, which broke the ratings record of "The Prince Who Turns Into a Frog".

In 2008, Chen was nominated for Best Leading Actress in a Television Series for her role in Fated to Love You at the 43rd Golden Bell Awards.

After filming ‘Fated To Love You’, Chen Qiao En has completely said goodbye to ‘sticky note girl’ as she poses for the December issue of ‘GQ Magazine’, wearing only fur on her upper body.

The first time doing a sexy photoshoot, her mood is evidently quite nervous, and had to drink a lot of red wine: “Last time when I filmed bed scene for ‘Fated to Love You’ my mum was very angry when she saw it, this time if she sees these photos, I’m scared she might kill me!”

Qiao En reveals that she only loves herself and her cat, and has no vision about marriage, because she has no way to determine how much she loves the man infront of her: ‘So in my life, am I only going to love this one man? Will I never feel anything again for any other men?”Qiao En doing this kind of annoucement, perhaps it is because she and her white boyfriend Michael are having some kind of relationship crisis?

Chief Pornography Officer - Wanted !!!

Chief pornography officer wanted in Beijing, who are interested in this job?

The Chief Pornography Officer will need to keep abreast of all types of obscene material.

An alliance of Chinese companies intent on cleaning up the internet is seeking a Chief Pornography Officer to research websites for obscene material and "manage and rate" the results of their findings.

Anquan Lianmeng ( 安全联盟literally "Safety Alliance") describes itself as a "neutral and impartial third-party organisation" looking to establish industry standards for internet safety and to monitor Chinese users' access to obscene material. It was jointly organized by 800 Internet companies including Baidu, Tencent and Kingsoft.

Candidates have overwhelmed the human resources department of the newly-formed alliance, lured by the 200,000 yuan (£21,000) annual salary and the hope of bringing moral fortitude to their nation while consuming endless hours of pornography.
Yang Jilong, the group's human resources chief, said that they have received over 5,000 CVs for the Chief Pornography Appraiser position since publicizing the job ad on Weibo last week.

He explained the purpose of the job was one of sifting true smut from merely naughty material for Chinese users, and admitted that some websites might require further inspection from a higher authority.

"As we find vulgar information and safety risks on websites, we'll remind Web users with an online label, while for those that we're not sure about, we'll ask law school professors and government administrators for help," he said.

Skills in foreign languages are essential for the job, as much of the material the officer will assess will originate from Europe, the US and Japan, and good teamwork skills and a strong "sense of responsibility" are a plus.

Free fruit and yoghurt on week days are an added bonus for the successful applicant.

The production and distribution of pornography are officially banned in China, but the government has struggled to keep such material behind what was once described as the "great firewall of China" in an age of mobile phones and tools such as virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow users to appear to be in different countries when they log on.

Cai Yifan, a 23-year-old applicant from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, said he heard about the job through Tencent Weibo and had already sent his resume.

The graduate, who majored in English and is proficient in Japanese, took part in an online test for the job, but claimed it was too difficult.

"The questions covered many fields, such as translation, legal knowledge and psychology. I'm interested in the job, but my chances of success are slim, as the standards were too high," he added.

Job Responsibilities: Quickly and accurately identifying pornographic and obscene websites.
Job Description:
1. Research and study pornographic videos and images, formulate criteria for determining obscenity.
2. Deploy courseware on the standards of obscenity determination, and study materials such as educational videos on pornography.

Climb The Mountain to Go to SCHOOL - COOL !

That's one to get to the top of the class… The terrifying climb of Chinese schoolchildren as young as five forced to scale sheer cliffs to get to school

Mountain-top village of only 100 residents is cut off from the outside world, apart from ladders leading to valley below
Brave schoolchildren use the wooden ladders with no safety precautions to get to school every day
Five-year-old Liu Dan explained: 'It's quite high but I try not to look down'


Terrifying: Children clamber down these unsecured ladders to get to school in Hunan province, China

Isolated: The village in the steep mountains where the children set off from every day to go to the valley below

These schoolchildren in southern China are so keen to get to school that they make the perilous journey on narrow wooden ladders every day, with no safety precautions.

Their village in the remote Badagong mountains in Sangzhi county is surrounded by sheer drops on every side, making the school run a daily struggle.

The only way out of Zhang Jiawan village, unless the children have time for a four-hour cross country detour, is via a series of rickety-looking ladders leading down to the valley.

Their anxious parents have no choice but to let them use the ladders if they want to get an education.

So when youngsters like five-year-old Liu Dan start school at the nearest town, the first thing they have to learn is how to climb.

'In centuries past these mountains were a fortress for the villagers. The land is good and the farms thrive but it is hard to get in and out,' said one local.

Liu admitted: 'It's quite high but I try not to look down.'

'My parents showed me how to do it safely and now I don't think too much about how high it is,' she added.

Villagers have asked local officials to supply a road down to the valley so that these children do not have to risk their lilves.

However, the road over the difficult terrain would cost nearly £10 million so residents are not getting their hopes up that it will happen any time soon.

'There are fewer than 100 people living there. It would be cheaper to buy them all helicopters,' said one.

Extraordinary International Building Without Any Corners

Zaha Hadid Architects’ has completed the Galaxy Soho office, retail and entertainment complex in Beijing





The new Galaxy Soho project is a 330,000 sq m commercial complex that includes office, retail and entertainment outlets. Designed by Zaha Hadid, the project is characterized by four large organic shaped concrete domes connected by a web of fluid bridges. Encased in concentric rings of insulated aluminum cladding, windows are stepped back slightly to provide daylighting and appropriate shading. Protected courtyards at the ground level connect shoppers to all the retail, which occupies the bottom floors.

The upper floors are occupied by office space and restaurants and bars at the top, which enjoy panoramic views of the city. Inside the domes, intimate courtyards create their own interior world and skylights light the space. The project has a LEED Silver rating due in part to its use of natural daylighting and tight envelope. The 18-floor complex has already sold out all of its commercial units and is regarded as a successful project.

China Has More Than 170 Auto Makers

Chinese Dilemma: 170 Auto Makers

Local Government Incentives Keep Small Companies Expanding Even as Beijing Tries to Encourage Industry Consolidation




TAIZHOU, China—The U.S. auto industry has long had three big domestic car makers. China has more than 170, including tiny Zhejiang Jonway Automobile Co.

Jonway makes a sport-utility vehicle named after the Airbus A380 jumbo jet. Its A380 SUV starts at 70,000 yuan ($11,272) and is marketed as a smooth, low-maintenance ride.

Customers aren't buying it. Last year Jonway sold about 5,000 cars compared with the more than 7,000 that Volkswagen AG VOW.XE -1.39% sells on average in China every day.

Little Jonway isn't fazed by the market reception. It plans to release a new SUV model this year, beef up marketing and is considering exporting vehicles to South America. It continues to work on its technology with the help of supportive local officials, and it just received a license from the Chinese government to begin making electric cars.

"China is the largest car market in the world, and it still has potential to grow. Our ambitions are congruent with reality," insists Alex Wang, Jonway's 31-year-old, U.K.-educated chairman.

Optimistic Chinese auto executives like Mr. Wang send shudders through the rest of the global auto sector. Industry watchers worry that the world's No. 1 auto market could soon be awash in overcapacity. That would rev up competition in China and pressure companies here to export more of their cars.

"We may see high levels of overcapacity and significant margin pressure within the next three to five years," said Bill Russo, president of auto consulting firm Synergistics Ltd. and a former Chrysler executive. He estimates that China's overcapacity in three years could total 10 million cars, roughly equivalent to Japan's 2012 auto production.

Overcapacity worries aren't confined to cars. China has a glut of factories in industries ranging from steel to construction equipment to solar panels. Beijing encouraged heavy investment in those industries to move away from its dependence on low-level manufacturing. While central government officials signal that they want to tamp down on capacity, local governments are still backing local champions that are major employers.

China's car-making capacity is set to soar in coming years. General Motors Co., GM -2.40% Volkswagen and Ford Motor Co F -4.29% . are building new factories and assembly lines. China's top 10 auto groups—which make both foreign and domestic brands—are expected to have combined capacity to build about 35 million vehicles a year by the end of 2015, according to their previous announcements, compared with 18 million vehicles in 2012.

But sales growth is slowing. McKinsey & Co. forecasts that China's auto market will grow by an average 8% a year through 2020, down from a compound average rate of 24% between 2005 and 2011.

Experts expect domestic brands will incur the brunt of the slower gains because foreign brands such as GM and VW enjoy a reputation for quality among Chinese drivers. Foreign brands currently make up roughly two-thirds of China passenger car sales. Last year, Dong Yang, vice chairman of the semiofficial China Association of Automobile Manufacturers predicted about half of domestic brands may disappear in coming years.

But many Chinese companies enjoy subsidies designed to bolster local champions. For example, the western city of Chongqing said last June it would give a subsidy of up to 3,000 yuan for buyers of some models of vans made by local car maker Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., 000625.SZ -3.97% while FAW Car Co. 000800.SZ +8.50% said in August that the northeastern city of Changchun would offer a subsidy of between 3,500 yuan and 7,000 yuan for buyers of some cars made by the company. The U.S. last year filed a case before the World Trade Organization arguing that China unfairly supports auto companies and parts makers, an accusation Beijing disputes.

Many are also looking abroad. Last year Chinese auto exports rose 19% to one million vehicles, mainly to markets in the Middle East, Russia, and South America, according to the trade association.

Chinese officials have acknowledged the problem. In July, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said China has more than 171 car, truck and bus manufacturers, and said passenger vehicle producers that make fewer than 1,000 vehicles for two years in a row will be ordered to overhaul production.

China has auto makers even smaller than Jonway. According to research firm IHS, a company called Tianqi Meiya sold 77 passenger cars last year. The company, in the north Chinese city of Tianjin, didn't respond to requests for comment.

Jonway builds its vehicles in Taizhou, an eastern city where local officials are pushing to create their China's version of Detroit. According to a plan the city issued in 2010, officials committed to giving local auto makers land and helping them recruit talent, and it allowed banks to roll over loans to cash-strapped companies.

Other auto companies doing business in the region include Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., the Chinese auto maker which acquired Volvo Car Corp. from Ford Motor Co. in 2010.

Jonway's U.S. parent, a Santa Rosa, Calif., electric vehicle company called Zap, said in its most recent annual securities filing that the Chinese auto company received $1.6 million in subsidies and incentives in 2010 and 2011 combined. Jonway reported a 2011 loss of $10.2 million on sales of $54.3 million.

Mr. Wang's father and Jonway's founder, Wang Huaiyi, is a major Zap shareholder and a member of the board. The Wang family started its China-based business in the early 1980s, producing everything from buttons for clothes to parts of electric fans. In the 1990s it began supplying parts for motorcycles made by Geely before the latter began making cars.

Inspired by the high-profile success of Geely Chairman Li Shufu, in 2003 the senior Mr. Wang invested 600 million yuan, or about $72 million, in an SUV manufacturing facility with an aim at targeting China's growing middle class.

The younger Mr. Wang began managing Jonway in 2008 two years after returning from studying in the U.K. "I've never thought of the overcapacity problem," he said. Jonway "has done very well in the motorcycle business and it needs a bigger platform to grow. The car industry is just the platform through which we can grow stronger."

Jonway used Toyota Motor Corp.'s 7203.TO -2.12% RAV4 SUV as a reference when designing the five-door A380, he said. Its sales grew to nearly 8,000 in 2010 from 4,500 the year before.

But sales began slumping in 2011 with China's decision to end buyers subsidies for cars with engine capacity of 1.6 liters or smaller. Mr. Wang said he believes the sales problem is marketing.

"Building brand recognition needs time," he said. "Jonway is in urgent need of improved marketing."

Jonway aims to sell 20,000 SUVs and minivans this year, and plans to add 50 dealers to its existing network of 100 dealers across the country. Other efforts include bigger dealer incentives, more advertising spending and a push to raise its profile at this month's auto show in Shanghai, he said.

It is also eyeing exports, targeting volume of 3,000 vehicles in emerging markets such as South America and Africa, Mr. Wang said. Jonway parent Zap has a team of Spanish-speaking sales representatives, "which is a unique edge to us."

The angry man storms into the location while the pageant is being filmed and begins shouting at her.

The woman scrambled to cover herself up while her boyfriend began pushing and shoving the female pageant host and some of the other participants.

Before storming out of the venue, he curses her and throws a nearby object onto the ground.

Some netizens who saw the video online criticised the man for his unruly behaviour.

However, many other netizens commented that the video seemed more like a publicity stunt, arguing that the incident appeared to be staged because of the smooth camera movement and the exaggerated reactions of the people.

One netizen pointed out: "The cameraman's hand not shaking one bit. In normal circumstances where something sudden like this happens, how could one be so steady, and the shot be so smooth? What more, the attacker is not the least bit angry

Fake Funeral Service

Fake funeral service proving popular after student holds her own false ceremony

Student Zeng Jia (in coffin) staged her own funeral

Following the revelation a Chinese student staged her own funeral so she could ‘enjoy’ the day, it has emerged the fake ceremony has also proved popular with other people from the country.

When Zeng Jia held her own wake, despite the fact she was still alive, many thought it was morbid and self-obsessed but it now turns out it wasn’t an unusual occurrence.

In March, 24 people held false funerals at the Shimenfeng Celebrity Culture Park in Wuhan and the roaring trade can be put down to trainee undertaker Zeng, who came up with the idea.

‘The service has two parts – a 20-minute memorial service and a 15-20 minute “life-death experience”,’ she said.

At first, employees at the cemetery were not convinced but after the student explained the service further they came around to the idea.

The mortuary’s designer Zhang Bei added: ‘It was the first time we ever offered this kind of service.

‘We were really surprised but found [the concept] new and interesting.’

A 2 Year Old Chinese Girl Buy Luxury Apartment in New York City

A $6.2 Million Apartment for a 2-Year-Old? Such is NYC's Luxury Housing Market

Talk about investing in the future. A Chinese woman recently purchased a $6.5 million condo in the One57 building in Midtown Manhattan, which is to be New York’s tallest residential tower when it's completed next year. She wasn’t buying the place for herself, she explained to her broker, but for her young daughter. Her very young daughter. From the Daily News:

    “We’re running around the city looking at things, and I finally said, ‘Why exactly are you buying?’” broker Kevin Brown, of Sotheby’s International, told CCTV News. “She said it had to do with her daughter, who was planning on going to Columbia or NYU, maybe Harvard, so she needed to be in the center of the city, and that is why she was picking this one particular apartment,” Brown said. “I said, ‘How old is your daughter?’ And she said, ‘Well, she’s 2.’ And I was just shocked.”

Shocked he may have been -- although the One57 pad was kind of low-end compared to the $88 million, 6,700-square foot Central Park West apartment that Russian fertilizer mogul Dmitri Rybolovlev bought for his (18-year-old) daughter’s alleged use in 2012. In truth, the Chinese millionaire’s forward-thinking purchase was hardly unusual. The high-end real estate market in North American cities such as New York, Miami, and Vancouver has been dominated by foreign investors for years now, with buyers forking over huge sums of money to buy deluxe apartments that they or their lucky offspring might intend to occupy for a few weeks here or there, or in the far future, if ever.

The trend has left some upscale urban neighborhoods feeling hollowed-out.

In New York, luxury ghost apartments have been steadily proliferating, with certain parts of Manhattan especially devoid of life According to a 2011 New York Times article, in the chunk of the Upper East Side where the Chinese woman bought her little girl a future dream home, “about 30 percent of the more than 5,000 apartments are routinely vacant more than 10 months a year.” Census figures from 2010 show that since 2000, there was a 70 percent increase in absentee-owned apartments in Manhattan, which jumped from 19,000 to 34,000, with the wealthiest neighborhoods seeing even more pronounced gains. The trend, which reversed briefly after 2007 because of the recession, has been building again -- to the point where real estate blog Curbed made fun of the Times for even taking note of it in yet another piece earlier this year.

Some wealthy residents of these lonely luxury abodes, reports the Times, report feeling isolated. And while it may be hard to feel much sympathy for well-heeled people who find themselves rattling around the hallways with only an attentive building staff to chat with, the effect on the surrounding neighborhood is real.

In some parts of Vancouver, where attracting residential development in the city’s urban core has been a point of pride of city planners, the effect is tangible. As many as 25 percent of the condos in the city’s Coal Harbour neighborhood are owned by “non-residents,” with mixed results for the city, according to a CBC News report:

    "They pay lots of money in taxes and use very few city services,” said Tsur Somerville, an associate professor at the UBC Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate.

    But there is a downside to having so many vacant units.

    “From a city revenue standpoint these units are wonderful. On the other hand, most of us don't want to live in a ghost town,” Somerville added.

    The high vacancy rate means less business for neighbourhood shops and and restaurants in Coal Harbour....

    Nonetheless, Yan said some Vancouver neighbourhoods may appear to be very dense, but actually are not.

So it seems that the high-end residential developments that have come to dominate much of Manhattan and other gentrifying downtowns have the potential to generate not only tax revenue, but also solitude -- not only for the people who have the money and desire to buy that elusive and not always desirable commodity, but for their neighbors as well. Absentee buyers may be investing in their own future, but it's questionable what the return will be for the cities that are taking their cash.
