flight #404


This is a picture of an airport terminal in Spain that was closed because of the collapse of the real estate bubble. I'm not sure how it can be put to use again as anything but an airport. In many respects, airport architecture resembles a machine more than a building--the most appropriate metaphor is a pumping and filtration system combined with a telephone switchboard.

I read an article in the Economist about how Canadian regulators are taking steps to soften the deflation of their residential property bubble. We'll see how that works out.

Day1849 of the Great Recession.
