Capital's control will be of poorer population

Echoing the recent plan of Beijing to control its rapidly growing population, officials in the capital's Chaoyang district have said they will cease the mass building of subsidized houses and launch crackdowns on group renting and the renting of underground spaces, so as to "cut the inflow of people".

That's a very nasty idea.

To effectively control the size of Beijing's population, one must first answer the question: Why are so many people rushing in?
