If you can’t bring London to the Gaza Strip, bring Gaza to London:

Sadiq Khan adds weight to scheme to construct spartan apartments that will sell for up to 40% less than usual new-builds Who needs internal walls or a fitted kitchen anyway? As house prices soar ever further out of reach, London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, is to subsidise a new generation of ultra-basic “naked” homes that will sell for up to 40% less than standard new builds. The apartments will have no partition walls, no flooring and wall finishes, only basic plumbing and absolutely no decoration. The only recognisable part of a kitchen will be a sink. The upside of this spartan approach is a price tag of between £150,000 and £340,000, in reach for buyers on average incomes in a city where the average home now costs £580,000. The no-frills concept is to be be tested with 22 apartments on three sites in Enfield, north London, where the council will allow builders to take over derelict council estate garages and car parks. Khan has awarded a £500,000 grant to what he says will be the largest custom-build development in London.

By the time the foreigners are done with London it will be made with nothing more than balsa wood and tissue paper, with newspaper carpets. On the bright side, all it will take is a single match to send it all to the ground so we can start over.

Notice however that we are not looking for ways to make life ever more luxurious. We are not happily consuming freely any more. Now the norm is nano apartments that are single rooms with no flooring, which apparently require residents take their morning shit by sitting on the kitchen sink – and they cost the equivalent of $440,000 dollars American. And I suspect that these may be for a family of four. Hopefully for that price that sink has a garbage disposal unit, but with a Muslim mayor you never know.

This is the early onset of shortage. Interestingly these Spartan accommodations are being portrayed as hip and trendy for some reason. It could be that is the marketers trying to sell the products. Or it could be the rabbits trying to see themselves as still riding the waves of success as they take dumps while microwaving their breakfast burritos on the countertop next to them on one side and frying scrambled eggs on the other – while their teenagers wait impatiently in line to make their own breakfasts. Or it could be the elites trying to keep amygdalae turned off until the anarchy that is coming when the currency system goes down and the banks implode.

This is why nations are K-ifing though, and I have to say I feel tingly at the thought of what increasingly appears right around the corner. ITZ coming.
