The cage homes of Hong Kong

Hong kong has been ranked as the least affordable real-estate market eight years in a row. As a result, many of it’s citizens live in tiny spaces. The cheapest option being the cage home, as multiple of them can fit into one, small room. The high prices aren’t caused by the lack of land to build on, but rather by poor land management. Another major factor influencing the cost of real-estate is the taxing system, which is very light. To compensate for this, the government needs to earn funds from selling land. Without a change in the taxing system, prices are expected to rise even more in future years.

Today i watched a very interesting TED talk by Heather Barnett. It was about a certain type of mould  (which isn’t biologically mould) that posseses a peculiar type of intelligence. The mould itself is actually created by many identical cells merging together to create a so called „megacell”. It is actually able to solve basic puzzles and some people even use it to create art. The same mould was also used by the japanese to help reorganise the tokyo underground!

A subject matter - It is a very interesting subject matter.
