Jump To Comment: 1the most expensive real estate is not in the areas of most housing need.
supply and demand of housing and property therefore is psychologically affected.
and unreal.
a house in Dublin which now is worth 200,000
was worth ten years ago a small mothly rent to the corporation.
is this real?
I watched an imam in Western Africa explain Monopoly the game to his community. We used Monopoly the game as an illustration. Monopoly recieved itīs patent on the fifth of november, at the depth of the American Depression.
We said, this game with its avarice and greed, avoidance of jail and unreal money is a representation of the world no?
the imam agreed.
he took chalk from the ground and drew a diagram of a house, a rich manīs house with many rooms.
When the rich man dies what does he have? asked the imam of the surrounding laughing people?
what does he have? asked the imam again, knowing his jokes always were appreciated?
...he has a hotel.
We spent the next day making model houses from coloured green paper, and stood them in circles around larger models of hospitals and schools and factories made from coloured red paper.
We spent the day giving photocopied monopoly money to the children who traded their green paper huts for the required red paper hospitals.
Remember we said, do not go to jail, and always pass go.
I think of them, it is just after Eid the muslim festival of gift exchange.
Charity and homes, speculation and hotels.
The word Boycott entered the English language and thus anglo-american because of a land dispute in Ireland.
the 21st century is no different, the theatre of conflict has just moved.
Land and homes.
ideas and information.
Genes and Food.
these things can not be copyrighted, these things surely can not be property?
The mortgage trap of the "middle classes" in Europe and North America is the whip that toils Africaīs land.
The Oil that causes the Wars is the blood of the Earth.
When the Soviet World changed itīs clothing old rags for a double breasted suit, better still to carry the double headed eagle, all that had value was the uranium, military technology, property that needed to be "re-organised" and young women who sold their bodies to Westerners.
Isnīt it strange? how many years a house costs?
how many years a house is worth?
the hundreth psalm of the psalter of David.
"they labour in vain that buildeth the house save the Lord buildeth it".
I believe that victorian sentiment was raised in palimpsept above the doors of the poorhouses of Victorian England and Ireland, I believe it may still be read over the door of one such buildings in Rathmines, yet now the building is luxury apartments.
So where went the souls who tread the mill?
who laboured in vain?
and when they died did they have a hotel?
