Between the 1950s and mid-1990s, tens of thousands of immigrants constructed a towering community 12 stories high across a 6.4-acre lot in Hong Kong.

It was called the Kowloon Walled City.

With a population of 33,000 squeezed into a tiny lot, the city at its peak was 119 times as dense as present-day New York City. Although it faced rampant crime and poor sanitation, the city was impressively self-sustainable until its demolition began in 1993.

Though Hong Kong had been under British rule for decades by the time construction began, a clause in an 1842 treaty meant China still owned the property that would become Kowloon. Caught in legal limbo, it was effectively lawless.

In-house manufacturing was a huge part of the Walled City's infrastructure. Dog-meat butchers, entrepreneurs, and noodle makers enjoyed zero oversight inside the walls.

Some of the most common products manufactured in the city were fish balls, which Kowloon producers sold to local restaurants.

Sanitation was of minimal importance, Girard said ? "it was an intensely difficult place to function, with no laws governing health or safety."

Law enforcement typically intervened only for serious crimes, Girard says, though rumors were always swirling that Hong Kong's government preferred to turn a blind eye.

Before Seats were the size of your 2nd grader's class chair. Before over selling flights and forcibly dragging passengers off planes against their will. Before you had extra charge for luggage, a drink, food, leg room, etc. Before airlines treated you like cattle, and an inconvenience. When air travel was something to get dressed up for and enjoy.....

You mean back when airlines were regulated and the ticket prices actually reflected what it costs to operate the airline? When the cost of travel was so high that no one would even think about not showing up for a flight, overbooking wasn't even a rational idea? When people would kindly do what was asked and not throw a hissy fit and run around like idiots or or entitled 3 year olds? When many mid size and small cities had two flights a day, one west/south bound, one east/north bound?
