    But what does this mean for house prices?

      Does it mater? The message is still the same, if I wasn't on my hamster wheel I'd join 'em.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Well, more people living in tents should reduce demand, so we should see prices fall.

        There are small tent suburbs in some japansese cities.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          So buying land some years ago was the right idea!!

          I shall rent out tent space asap!

              We're being encouraged to live in tents and ride bicycles whilst the Chinese are building skyscrapers and driving Porsches.. I was counting on the demise of the West and the rise of the East to happen a little slower than this.

                I would expect a good sleeping bag and tent to reflect the heat. Even if you covered yourself with an aluminium emergency blanket it would fool the imaging.

                  Which is pretty much what the military guy in the Guardian article I linked to said....

                    But these aren't cunning soldiers concealing themselves from the enemy, wrapped up in Aluminium. Wouldn't you expect tents that show a bit of heat rather than either tents lighting up like a Christmas Tree or not at all? Most heat goes through the head, so how they hide this in their sleeping bag without suffocating. Then there is the question as to why journalists were agressively shooed away, and not simply allowed in to look into the tents.
