Epic WTF

There may be some flaws to this plan.

I didnt really mean it like a gated community, but more like a regular community of people all dedicated to improving their respective property and living there in safety.

If these people had some common interests, maybe they are all artists/musicians/activists/hipsters etc... it would be even better.

When I used the term Utopia, I meant in comparison to neglected crime riddled neighborhoods these are in.

who's the boss?

The cost of demolition is prohibitive.

My brother lives in small town mid west USA. The house next door to him was fairly run down and came up for sale. It sold for $7000, which was a decent price. He wanted to buy it and flatten it to extend his own yard/garden but it would of cost far too much to do that.

Someone else bought it, threw $20,000 at it and sold it on for $70,000.

Local to me, some guy went about demolishing his newly purchased house. It was a well made 1930's house, both halves of semi.

He spent a couple months at it but got it done, literally using a sledge hammer etc and wheelbarrowing rubble into a big skip.

American houses should be easy to smash.

Yeah, but you need a license to know whether to start at the top or bottom.
That knowledge doesn't come cheap.

Sounds like he should've left everything but the middle wall

American houses should be easy to smash.

Here's some interesting reading:

Fucking expensive demolition

After that you have rebuilding costs. Even if you do all the drawings and the work you will still get stung by permit costs.

Do it anyway DFP. Fuck the haters.

Remember to booby trap the yard.

It's a good series. Mate of mine was on it once (he has neurofibromatosis)

My nephew has that.

I think he finds it annoying more than anything, but he was on Bodyshock because they found a large lump in his leg which was affecting a nerve so they had to operate and it was a bit touch and go how much damage they'd do. In the end he lost a bit of movement but it wasn't too bad.

^ Poor chap. How is he doing now?

Fine really, still the same sick sense of humour and awesomely geeky.

That is amazing

race to find his boy racer mobile on streetview using the street names he gave... go!

lots and lots of statisitics anbout US government spending

Some quite interesting scientific research among these, I didnt read it all, but it is essential for scientists to be able to follow their noses to some extent, many important discoveries are made by accident, and the researching of seemingly spurious areas is essential to the maintining and encouraging of a curious and expanding scientific community and industry.
