- melling 10y agoPeople are paying for the location not a "brand".
- titanomachy 10y agoHaha this is great. On a more serious note, maybe banks could offer some sort of investment vehicle made up of homes in a certain area. The homes would then be rented out for revenue, and foreign buyers could have an equivalent financial position without driving away actual residents.

- stuaxo 10y agoI had a similar idea but with lower and lower ceilings, you could have 100s of apartments at one address with 1cm ceilings, but great sq footage. Virtualisation probably makes more sense though.
- CyberDildonics 10y agoOr... miniaturize everything. Great square footage, looks huge, but ceilings are only half height. Display it with half size furniture, half size appliances, etc. Money in the bank.
