Roughly outlined the part for HA as a commercial organization. Have to remind myself time and again that this is an ethnography of the state at the grassroots level. Thinking of talking to the theory of the state.

Instead of discussing how homeowners’ need to rely on the state to check the powerful real estate developers in details, I make this as a contrasting background, and analyze how the intervention of the residents’ committee could become a problem.

Decided to say that this intervention is useless, many party secretaries also think it’s useless. Actually they have been intervening less and less. But the empirical materials may not be sufficient for supporting that argument.
