By Perfect Blue Go To PostI think the biggest reason is probably something similar to Japan and Korea in that women are way more educated than the past and have tons more options now than just churning out babies in a patriarchal society. Unaffordability and rising cost of childcare is up there too.

The difference is that Japan and Korea are developed, rich, high income countries but China is still developing. That’s a unique problem.

By sohois Go To PostThe gender imbalance is a much bigger deal for China than Japan or Korea. Also childcare isn't really an issue in China as the same family structures that contribute to some of their issues also mean that grandparents are always expected to be on hand to take care of the children

By Perfect Blue Go To PostYeah the gender imbalance compounds it in China.

As for childcare, you can see from a 10 second Google search: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-child-rearing-costs-far-outstrip-us-japan-research-2022-02-23/

Edit: sorry just noticed I said childcare I meant child-rearing

New York City is rolling out a plan to convert vacant offices into as many as 20,000 new housing units by creating a multi-agency group to help developers cut through red tape and rezoning a section of Manhattan known as Midtown South.
The moves come after Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul’s quest for an ambitious program to address the state’s housing shortage was rebuffed by fellow Democratic lawmakers in Albany earlier this year. Much of Adams’s plan will still need state approval.

Hoping the Georgia trial is televised.

State of play: Georgia law requires that cameras be allowed during judicial proceedings with a judge's approval. Cameras are seen as an important aspect of transparency.

A judge would need a compelling reason — such as a juvenile victim or witness — to bar them, per Atlanta News First. Neither are likely to apply.
Under Georgia's rules, the public could be able to watch Trump's potential arraignment — as well as an entire potential criminal trial, per NBC News.
That's not been the case in federal and New York courts, where Trump's other indictments have taken place.

The company sought protection under chapter 15 of the US bankruptcy code, which protects its US assets while it attempts a restructuring deal.

For months Evergrande has been working on an offshore debt restructuring agreement and it unveiled a proposal earlier this year. It offered creditors a choice to swap their debt into new notes issued by the company and equities in two subsidiaries, Evergrande Property Services Group and Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group.

Last month, however, Evergrande posted a combined loss of $81bn for 2021 and 2022, prompting worries about the viability of the debt restructuring plan.

Disney filed the court document less than a week after CNN aired an interview with DeSantis where he said that he and his allies had "basically moved on" from their feud with the company and that he would tell the company's CEO, Bob Iger, to "drop the lawsuit."

We spoke to the lead consultant in the unit - who first raised concerns about Letby - and also examined hospital documents. The investigation reveals a catalogue of failures and raises serious questions about how the hospital responded to the deaths.

Dr Brearey says he demanded Letby be taken off duty in June 2016, after the final two murders. Hospital management initially refused.

The BBC investigation also found:

The hospital's top manager demanded the doctors write an apology to Letby and told them to stop making allegations against her
Two consultants were ordered to attend mediation with Letby, even though they suspected she was killing babies.

And some people don’t want to deal with maintenance or the nuisance of raking up leaves.

One neighbor whom Mr. Rodriguez talked to feared a shade tree would attract people who might see it as a spot for using drugs.
