A story where every Mumbai kid had a grandfather who left localities which were supposedly being transferred in his name, for not being corrupt.
Jagannath Shankar Sheth, a proud Marathi, donated hundreds of acres of his personal land for Mumbai’s development — schools, hospitals, theatres & public infrastructure. Often called the “Maker of Modern Bombay.” This is how Marathis built the city. #MarathiPride

There has been colossal research on the Hukou institution from both within China and outside. A basic consensus is that the policy is very complex and the intentions for governance were under stable, given China’s huge population and the unbalanced development between regions. Just imagine having 50 million people flowing to Beijing because it already had a few great hospitals decades ago, and that they should all be treated equally. That’s why there is a GP system for healthcare in place in the UK. If everyone goes to seek help from hospitals freely without prescreening and some form of distributions based on needs and conditions, the system will be very ineffective. Hukou means household registration. It does create some limitations to public service accessibility, but it also safeguards homestead, which means a land entitled to you for living, for those in the rural area. Urban residents and capitalists are forbidden from acquiring property hose lands. You can nonetheless access hospitals and schools in your county. Hukou also safeguards your social security benefits in a certain city/province if you are an urban resident. Your taxes also go to the localities, who share a portion with the central government. As citizens, you can move freely in the country, and what China is working on now is to have a fairer social security benefit distribution for those who seek education, medical care in places to which they hadn’t paid much tax.

whatever the outcome here, i expect we'll see a lot more of this. "sovereignty theatre". governments, localities, companies, all have increasing pressure incentive to appear to have strength in ai. but in fact training your own genuinely capable models is very very hard.

Not only tourists but also localities need to learn these habits.

Complete misunderstanding of Hukou. Yes, Hukou creates some limitations, but Hukou means household registration. It safeguards homestead, which means a land entitled to you for living, for those in the rural area; it also safeguards your social security benefits in a certain city/province if you are an urban resident. Your taxes also go to the localities, who share a portion with the central government.

3. More affordable housing options exist in other localities, including several Muslim-majority areas. Why not explore those for better value?

The BJP’s electoral growth in Kerala has been slow, but the Sangh’s neighbourhood networks tell another story. TNM visits localities where shakhas, welfare work, caste networks, and temple spaces intersect under the banner of “Sangh villages.” thenewsminute.com/kerala/thi…

The fed government just isn't very good at managing social safety nets. I rather that sort of thing be handled locally. Of course, some localities may handle it worse, but I suspect most will be better.

The people never got to vote on having unvetted migrants allowed into their nations, supported at their expense, and forced into their small localities with NO input from the locals. They are suppressed when they speak or gather against it.

I was hired!! based on my skills. Skills triumph over everything else. If one has skill, then nothing can stop them from getting hired. It's a sad reality, but localities are not into IT. Most of my friends who got into IT are non Kannadigas.

Lol. Better make sure you’re in the right state. There are a lot of states or localities that will not work. You’ll be out on your ass after a 3 day notice to vacate by the sheriff.

After the fall of the New kingdom, lower and middle Egypt were localities ruled by different local and foreigner kings, while Nubia and upper Egypt were ruled by the High priest of Amun whose authority was between the two major centers of Amun cult; Thebes and Napata.
