Did Roman apartment houses have a "Super" on site, or a doorman? Was parking included for your horse and wagon? What happened if your insula went condo? In this video you'll learn about Roman apartment houses, or insulae; who lived in an insula, and on what floors; the floor plan of a typical insula; and what a typical insula would have looked like.

Sing, muse, of the intrigue of my mother's condo board.

What you need to understand is that my mother is an extrovert who does not know how to be anything but busy and who will die if she does not say yes if anyone asks her for help with anything. She is someone who will make a new best friend anywhere she goes. She came to visit me and I took her to the local public library, because of course I did and because she was a public librarian for her entire working life until she retired this past year. She had never been in my local library before, and within five minutes she had become fast friends with the employee on the reference desk and she and I were both being given a personalized tour of the entire building, including the staff-restricted work areas.

My mother also lives in an expensive high-rise condo. You know, the kind with a doorman and fresh flowers in the lobby, where the age demographic of the residents skews north of sixty. Of course she knows everyone (she claims she does not know that many people). So when one of her friends asked her to run for the condo board as a write-in candidate, she did not say no. But she couldn't advertise her candidacy, see. That would spell disaster.

And what follows, as she explained to me, rivals quite a few large-cast political fantasies I've read. [all names changed for anonymity]

Regina, a resident not on the board, has beef with Isaac because Isaac's daughter works for the new property management company. Regina preferred the old management company and alleges that New Property Management Company bribed Isaac under the table to vouch for their services when he was on the board. She has no proof of these allegations other than Isaac's family connection with the company.

George, who also served on the board, also has (unspecified) beef with Isaac.

Isaac, after the recent death of his beloved wife, has opted to step down (also because he didn't want to deal with Regina screaming at him at meetings anymore). However, he doesn't want to completely yield control to the likes of George. He and my mother are in agreement on many things, so he asked her to run in his place-- and maybe he could tell her his opinions of how he thinks things in the building should go? A little? As a treat?

Of course my mother agreed to this, because she's constitutionally incapable of saying no.

Isaac suspected that George would not run-- unless Isaac did. George and my mother have no particular beef. However, George knows Isaac and my mother are friends. George must not find out my mother is running, or he will run, and there will be a George Sweep.

And so my mother launched her stealthy word-of--mouth write-in campaign, carefully (she hoped) navigating who to tell who would tell other people to vote for her but would NOT tell (or tell other people who would tell) George that she was running.

Alas, the Condo Cloak and Dagger operation was not successful, and George found out and launched his own write-in campaign. The results were as predicted.

My mother's friends assumed she would be upset and disappointed, but she's simply relieved to not have yet another obligation on her plate. She still plans to attend the "You Didn't Win!" party one of them is throwing. It was going to be a victory party, but why cancel a perfectly good party when everyone is already invited?

My mother still took eighteen percent of the write-in vote. "That's really not bad!" she said. "For someone who doesn't know anyone."

Rising high

High-rise building a kilometre away from me, here trying to show its greatness. Successfully, if you ask me!

I've been playing around with this little digital camera, but I never liked its JPEGs, they were just typical, over-processed photos, difficult to work with. Enter CHDK, a customized firmware, enabling me, among other things, to take photos as raw files. It's significantly easier to eke out more image quality than before, but it's not free - there are no lens correction profiles, a ton of work is required to gain something (and lose a lot of megapixels), and that gain is quite small.

Taken with Canon PowerShot SX150 IS digital compact camera, with its image-stabilized 5-60mm F3.4-5.6 lens at its widest setting, running CHDK firmware to enable new features. Equivalently, that's a 28-336mm lens at 28 mm.

So the government's new plan for housing sounds like a superficially good thing that's going to have a lot of problems that will make the existing issues worse.

Huh... it looks like they're flat-out admitting that they're going to make the existing problems worse?

#in fairness #when they say it will start with low-rise builds #they might mean 2-6 floors of apartments/condos/flats #and I think the ideal is 4-10 stories #we just have a bad habit over here to build high-rises #but when I hear lower density in Canada #I assume SFD #maybe row houses?#or duplexes #nothing that will actually address the housing shortage #especially not something that will make homes worth living in
