Kim Jong Un has abandoned that plan to build 100,000 homes in Pyongyang …

according to The Daily NK’s sources, one of whom expressed the same reaction I had: “Perhaps he’s worried there will be another collapse and has pulled out of it.” In a few cases, “people with money,” presumably people who got rich through their state connections or positions, have taken over to complete the projects. I wonder how that will affect the safety of the construction methods.
