So that was 1987, you said?

It wasn't until 94 that Kowloon-Wald City was finally fully demolished.

And it wasn't until two years before that that the last resident was finally evicted.

There were a few holdouts.

A lot of people were like, yeah, I'll take $300,000 and a new place to live.

There were some holdouts because I don't, probably people have guessed this, but we didn't say it overtly.

There was a tremendous amount of pride among people living in Kowloon and Wall Street.

Yes.

And it was a very special and unique home and they were not going to find that anywhere else on earth and they knew it.

And so a lot of them were holdouts for a very long time and did not want to go.

Yes.

So there's nothing really left of Kowloon Walled City.

It's just the footprint.

This footprint has been around for hundreds of years and it will not go away.

It's an indelible print on Hong Kong as a town, as an area on the Kowloon Peninsula.

And even the Kai Tak Airport is gone now.

They've moved the airport further away from the city center because, like you said, they had to be very careful descending.

We've talked about it before.

I don't remember.

Maybe like our air traffic control episode or something.
