Only as a data point, in Italy the minimal size a house can legally be called a house is 28 sqm, intended for a single, then you add 10 sqm for each additional adult (this is national law, since 1975). Local laws may increase these mimimum

Hmmmm. IMHO a very peculiar take on the matter, it is the first time that I read that Tokyio has affordable housing (or maybe it has if compared to New York, or London, but these are - as I see it - outliers when it comes to prices). In any

The 1980 in the title is IMHO way off, as the article itself states: >Despite the massive effort by the technical field in the early 1980s, it wasn’t until the late 1980s and early 1990s that CAD software became capable enough to be prac

Italy: from Turin to Florence (temporary, 5 years 1865-1870) from Florence to Rome (1871) In theory Rome was the capital of the new Reign of Italy since 1861, but in practice Rome became "available" only 10 years later.

Yes, in the good ol' times I would have used a nifty little DOS program called Venus, that would simply copy the "whole disk" (a lot like dd but with a semi-graphical interface). Of course the "real thing" was the D
