Almost every person in the world wants the own house and lot, but in city areas they are expensive. The taxes of lot are high, and the persons who rule the city wants that there would be live as many people as possible in some area.  Growing and improve the cities happens the way, that if the most people like it, would that thing put in the action. Sometimes there have been claiming, that cars dominate the plans, how the living would be developed.


City areas are growing all the time, and that causes very interesting thing in the ordinary street view. The picture above shows, that there was been cheap land somewhere in the past. And in that time the green painted house has been built. The work was cheap and the even ordinary worker could buy that kind of house in the past. But then there was the phenomenon when the price of the land was rising, and that was the reason, why the new buildings were different.


This green painted house has been somehow the attractive point of the city image, but this kind of unique buildings must step away from new architecture. And this is quite a sad thing because we all want to live in the unique house. But of course, the identical shape of the buildings increase safety and it's more practical to build than a unique building. Making groups is cheaper and more effective as financial and productive than making unique buildings.


The reason, why those old houses have been left in that area could be that they were not owned by private persons. The rising taxes and other payment guaranteed, that the normal worker would sell that property, and there would move directors of the firms. But if some company would own that house and the lot, would that guaranteed, that there was money to pay those payments. And if there were some big organization behind those payments, that would be the reason, why this green painted house has been left in this quite expensive area.

Total dystopia and the controlling society

Sometimes I have thought about thoughts of dystopia and the control society. Somewhere I read the story about the Earth, and the future, what was not seem very bright. In the system based on the modification of the atmosphere, and there would be always a cloud layer above the cities, what kept them in shadows, and every square millimeter of the city were covered by cement plates, what were denied to make food in that area. Also, the purpose of the clouds was to deny the sunlight in the city areas, because the unauthorized plantages were impossible.


This idea of this book, which name I don't remember was taken from the city walls of medieval time. The purpose of those walls was explained to regular people for defending the citizens, but the real purpose was to control the food supply to the cities. Also, clothes and another kind of stuff must be brought from the countryside.  That kind of asset was also used in the propaganda, where the forests around the city were claimed to be full of bandits, and in the medieval period, there might be persons, who believed, that there were not world outside city gates. And that made people easier to control.


 Outside of the cities were the agricultural societies, what lived in the Medieval time, and the reading the books were not allowed in those societies. All technology would be prohibited and in the cities, the people had all kind of technology, for making their life easier. This separation between those societies, what of course was on the Earth had their mission in the supporting of the leaders of that society. The mission of the "outsiders" or the persons, who are not living in the cities, was to feed the population of the cities, and if there would be rebellion in the cities, would the leader just cut the food supply.


And if there will be the rebellion in the countryside, that rebellion can be crushed by using tanks. Or the leaders can use the so-called soft method and destroy the plantages by using some mushrooms, and of course, the seed corn was sent to the cities for storage. In that book, the hero stole one potato and made clones about it. That sent the leader away from power, this might be some kind of science fiction, but the food supply is the very good thing to control human beings.
