This weekend I read an article that in NYC they are building these tall spires that overlook Central Park -from a distance. Probably 80 story structures and very thin. I guess it's starting to look like one of those metropolis' out of Star Wars.
I remember being in NYC this summer, and it being very hot. That is, if you happened to be out where the sun was actually shining on you. And there didn't seem to be many places where that was happening. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote: They're building more high rise chicken coops in San Francisco. Stupid idiot CEOs want to put their businesses there for the prestigious address and real estate is very expensive. All the green eared kids taking tech jobs are going to wind up spending their paychecks on a 200 square foot chicken coop.

In the US often this type of housing is often subsidized,rental. Maybe in Hong Hong, the apartments are owned. And yet, there are also stacked rental units in the US that also work. Is income the only factor, or why does it seem that there is a racial component to it as well? http://news.yahoo.com/photos/hong-kong-vertigo-photographer-captures-the-urban-grid-slideshow/ http://news.yahoo.com/photos/hong-kong-vertigo-photographer-captures-the-urban-grid-slideshow/
