#Turkey: Central Bank Chief Moves Into Parents’ #Apartment As #Inflation Hits #Istanbul Property

Source: https://www.theheritagetimes.com/turkey-central-bank-chief-moves-into-parents-apartment-as-inflation-hits-istanbul-property/

Turkey’s central bank head, #HafizeGayeRrkan says she has been priced out of Istanbul’s property #market by rampant inflation, leaving her with no choice but to move back her parents’ apartment.

...

“Is it possible that Istanbul has gotten more expensive than #Manhattan?” she said.

I've two questions:
1) What do normal people do with a normal job and without parents or friends in Istanbul? (Are they sleeping in their office or under the bridge?)
2) Is the apartment market now only for billionaires?

And now they're destroying churches...

Also, most pyramids have an extensive underground network of tunnels, waterways, etc...

And then of course the darker thought of how these once great spiritual temples were built on powerful #ley-lines where their energies would be multiplied and sent out across the world and what they've doing in those underground caverns and under those churches to invert those energies...

A quotation from Camus

A man wants to earn money in order to be happy, and his whole effort and the best of a life are devoted to the earning of that money. Happiness is forgotten; the means are taken for the end.

Albert Camus (1913-1960) Algerian-French novelist, essayist, playwright
The Myth of Sisyphus, “Absurd Creation” (1942) [tr. O’Brien (1991)]

One of the most amazing building technology, sidestepped and forgotten because of our addiction to cementeand concrete is rammed earth.

Ancient civilizations, built huge buildings using nothing but earth, either reinforced with hay, or simply pressed to create bricks that lasted centuries.

Ancient city of Bam in south central Iran and Saana in Yemen are examples of such amazing building method that helps keeping the interior cool in summer and warm in winter while it's beauty and simplicity made it last generation after generation.

Bam was almost completely destroyed after the devastating earthquake of 2003 and Saana is partially destroyed by almost decade long brutal war by Saudi and UAE against the people of Yemen.

There are people now who are trying to spread the knowledge about this cheap, reliable and beautiful way of building houses in warm climates. Combined with modern technology to use concrete foundation and use barbeife to reinforce the layers, these buildings can be made at a fraction of the cost of those using concrete blocks or bricks. Plus they have almost 0 carbon footprint and do not need any energy to process them before being pressed by hand or machine to create such magnificent beautiful walls. They are so beautiful that they don't even need paint.

It is possible to make them last longer by adding an extra layer of water proof plaster on top or just simply leave them as they are and they will withstand the rain and wind for many decades without losing their strength or beauty.

Well after 3 years of recovering from treatment for throat cancer I finally got back to work last week and am surviving though fatigue is still there. Now in Halifax W Yorks where I had never visited before.
All good so far though the landlord where I am staying is far too intrusive and thankfully only a short let and will be moving on soon - hopefully somewhere better for my needs will come up:)

A quotation from Browne, Jackson

Into a dancer you have grown,
From a seed somebody else has thrown.
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own,
And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go,
May lie a reason you were alive but you’ll never know.

Jackson Browne (b. 1948) American musician, songwriter, political activist
“For a Dancer” (1974)

A quotation from Asquith, Margot

Speaking for myself, I could never pray to be delivered from sudden death. It is how you live, and not how you die that counts, and sudden deaths are only sad for those who are left. It is not dying, but living, that is a preparation for Death.

Margot Asquith (1864-1945) British socialite, author, wit [Emma Margaret Asquith, Countess of Oxford and Asquith, née Tennant]
More Memories, ch. 11 (1933)
