Instead of traditional walls with windows, floor to ceiling glass walls are popular in homes now. Because materials and labour are now cheaper. Just like in “glass tower” condos.
This sort of thing:
That idea and this idea overlap nicely:
The trillion-dollar coin is a concept that emerged during the United States debt-ceiling crisis of 2011 as a proposed way to bypass any necessity for the United States Congress to raise the country's borrowing limit, through the minting of very high-value platinum coins. The concept gained more mainstream attention by late 2012 during the debates over the United States fiscal cliff negotiations and renewed debt-ceiling discussions.

Well maybe instead of builders piling on super luxury homes with the rapidly slimming hope of sky high profits, they ought to concentrate on building modest and energy efficient affordable homes for the 90% of us that are in a position to buy a reasonably priced home and could not find an energy sipping home anywhere.

How do they control for supply (or “supply” where people simply ask more than the market will bear because maybe they’ll get it), especially if these are unofficial listings?
