Well it was a largely ungoverned district that was sort of under British control and sort of under Chinese control, but neither side wanted to exercise that control and it became largely lawless and unregulated. It doesn’t exist today because they tore it down. It was a hotbed of organized crime, as well as a public health and safety disaster. It’s not directly comparable to these other fully formed and governed municipalities. But it was a real place where people did indeed live in unimaginable density not seen anywhere else before or since.

I agree it's crazy, but there has to be some metric that determines the denominator
