People have been saying for years in Australia that good farmland grows the best houses.
I’m slightly puzzled by a species , Homo Real estatus ,
that covers Australia’s best farmland with houses that no one can afford , and then when the gfc occurs,
discovers that people are holding mortgages on high maintenance liabilities that are worth less than the mortgage contract .
Ok sure , some of us get to reside in a level of opulence that would make the Pharoahs blush with embarrassment.
But surely planting a mixed orchard would have been a better investment ?
But then one day I saw this run down old 1920s art eco mansion , which had been transformed into a mushroom farm .
The entire inside of this roaring 20s concrete monstrosity had become a mushroom farm .
And thinking about it a bit more , I realised that a house makes a good green house .
Taking it a step further , I also started to think that the delicate and important soil ecology is protected from solar radiation by the big houses built over the top.
And moisture accumulates underneath a slab of concrete
So in a weird kind of way houses conserve soil .
Does this make it easier or more difficult to grow avocados and vanilla vines ?
