I prefer more of a rural country setting as opposed to beehives, :tongue:
you know, the asshole above you weighs 400 lbs and sounds as if he might come through your ceiling... the couple across from you are swingers and screw each other 'till the weeee of the AM... the guy below you is always fighting w/ his live in tramp g/f and in order to squelch her he, with regularity, shoots through the ceiling w/ his .45 !
but, hey, it's en vogue to be hip and sustainable .... I guess. :dunno:

Nope, 'never like the cities... at least the idea of residing in them.
The pics are most interesting and I thanks ya for the post, nevertheless. :hatsoff:

Trellick Tower (supposedly)....from ye olde Wiki:

Trellick Tower is a 31-storey block of flats in North Kensington, London, W10. It was designed in the Brutalist style by architect Ernő Goldfinger, after a commission from the Greater London Council in 1966, and completed in 1972. It is a Grade II* listed building and is 98 metres (322 ft) tall (120 metres (394 ft) including the communications mast).

I always thought it was crap....
