The most effective punishment I have seen here, is to cost people time. Everyone local I meet seems obsessed with time. Middle class don't worry about fines. Poor people can't afford them, or are disproportionately fined,relative to income. A minute is a minute, an hour is an hour, same for all.
Make someone park their bike (maybe police lock an key), then go stand in a queue to pay a nominal fine at the nearest police post. Once the queue gets down to 10 people the officer has a break or is busy with some other paperwork. No fapio, no bike. At the end of the day, uncollected bikes are taken away and sold off.
I have seen areas of Shanghai bankrupt their own local market and collapse, due to unsustainable rents.
It is more about dumb greed of owners. If their neighbour gets 30k they want at least that, and will let property sit empty for years in the vain hope of getting the higher rent.
Swedish design ideas, kunming build quality. i have bought lots of ikea stuff in the past, the furniture at #11 are poor facsimiles of genuine item. Yes stuff is affordable, but poorly made and overpriced in my opinion. we took a good look around and looked closely at build quality and walked away.
It might be worth identifying which Prague venue you are reviewing.
When I first arrived in Kunming I did a tour of Wenlin Jie. I did't like the look of Prague.
More recently I have used Prague in Beichen a lot and I like it.
Ref the comment @nonsecond about being made sick from raw apple, WTF?
