In a new publication (online today!) I look at the history of the great estates in London. The underlying land in some neighborhoods like Mayfair, Belgravia, and Chelsea is still largely owned by aristocratic families like the Grosvenors and Cadogans.

Price of a manhattan :

But sure let's keep paying people to write articles about how our generation is at fault for society's problems.

This high-rise tower in China isn't a housing block — it's a pig farm.
Each floor operates like a self-contained farm for stages of a young pig’s life. Towers like this are part of China's push to reduce its dependence on agricultural imports.

extremely worrying variant of treasury brain
"Additional boosters, should they be required every three to six months, could cost an additional £5bn a year."
That's about £75 per British person. Seems like a low cost relative to other Covid-related costs, so maybe odd angle from Sunsk.

We are urging the

to reject plans to cantilever a tower over a listed Victorian Turkish bath house – the exterior of which is covered in show stopping tiles. Worryingly most of the proposed site is outside the tall building cluster.

Wondering why your Thanksgiving groceries cost more this year? It’s because greedy corporations are charging Americans extra just to keep their stock prices high. This is outrageous.

There is no way this is right. 8000sqft houses in Mayfair were not 279k in 1999. I wonder if it was a separate basement unit that was reintegrated (or a mews house behind)
