Harry Potter’s Morning Light - Chapter 2632 Wind and Flowers (11)

   Chapter 2632 Wind and Flowers (11)

  Houses in central London are generally single-family houses with doors facing the street. This was brewed after the Great Fire of London and was not enacted until 1774 by the Building Act.

   These townhouses, whether they are mansions or simple houses, are structurally unified, and the regulatory standards are the same, no matter how inconspicuous or how luxurious.

This kind of house is different from the apartment designed by Haussmann in Paris. It pays great attention to privacy and inevitably affects the social habits of Londoners. They hold social and leisure activities at home. Reese's parents generally don't eat out. Parisians, on the other hand, prefer to go outdoors, gathering in cafes or restaurants.

   The Second World War caused London to be bombed, and many houses were rebuilt. At this time, people had a hard time, whether to continue to repair the original appearance of the house or design a new one.

In the end, it was discovered that the residents of London still wanted the kind of single-family houses with front gates facing the street. Some people thought that the modernist buildings could not stand the test of time. I like to live and relax in a period style townhouse after work. Even if someone accused in the newspapers that "these streets look unremarkable, like they were carved out of a mold", it doesn't matter.

  To find the people you need to visit from these almost identical houses is often by the house number, but for Europeans 13 is an unlucky number, and some street 13 house numbers will skip over.

   This is still related to the Great Fire of London. After the fire, the population of London dropped sharply, many manufacturing industries also declined, factories closed down, craftsmen left, and only the banking industry is still thriving. The word "bank" comes from Italian, there is a Lombard Street in the financial city, and it is in the business of lending.

Originally, people wanted to borrow gold and silver and needed collateral. After the fire, most real estate owners chose a more secure way. They no longer developed their own, but leased out the land according to the construction lease contract and agreed with the lessee. After signing a long-term lease, the latter rents the land and raises his own house to build on it. After the lease contract expires, the real estate owner automatically owns the ownership of the building to be built, so there will be row houses.

  It is low-cost and meets regulatory standards. Who will build a palace for the landlord and let him take it away when the lease expires. Of course, the townhouse must be rented out as soon as possible to make money, so in some streets, the unlucky house number 13 just "disappeared".

  These houses are managed by intermediaries, and the streets and squares around the houses are named after the family name. As London continues to expand, there are not enough townhouses, and the place where civilians live is full of noise, heavy traffic, and turbid air. This has also led to the fact that as long as there is fresh air and a horse-drawn carriage can reach London, a house can be repaired. London suburbs have begun to develop rapidly, and the price of land has also increased dozens of times.

The Weasleys' house is not only far from London, but even far from the wizarding village, it is built very... "casual", it looks as crooked as Gringotts, if it doesn't fall, it does not have the ability to become "property" condition.

   But it's still "home" no matter what, and during the walk, Pomona saw many homeless people looking for food in the garbage cans.

  Before Roosevelt's New Deal was promulgated, Americans mainly lived on food relief, but occasionally they had bad luck, so restaurant garbage bins became their target.

  Thomas Jefferson believed that due to the unique environment of the United States, the United States "has no poor", in this country everyone can obtain property, cultivate land, and "enough food and clothing, moderate labor can support a family", as long as there is no interference.

The Stamp Act allowed Americans across the Atlantic to smell the breath of despotism in the slight wind. The British "Declaration of Powers" retained the regulations for the Puritans to hold weapons. Article 1 of the 1789 Constitutional Amendment stipulated that no Violation of the right of the people to keep and bear arms. John Adams believed that the weapons in the hands of the people were for personal defense, and that a nation of free men who cherished liberty and had weapons in their hands could not be conquered.

   However, when Roosevelt was in power, famine occurred in the United States. At the same time, because dairy products were unsalable, farmers poured milk in order to avoid low milk prices and maintain prices.

Of course, milk is poured into the sewer or river, and the trash can is filled with "solids." Some of the quality itself is not a problem, but the vegetables that do not sell well will be discarded by restaurants. The Great Depression itself did not have much impact on the rich. They still live as before.

   As a result, people who didn’t receive the relief food started fighting over the “kitchen waste”, 50 people scuffled into a group, and the police couldn’t stop them even when they came.

  The aborigines chose to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables to eat, but they also received a warning because they entered "private territory".

It's a miracle that    Jacob's bakery didn't close under the circumstances, and it didn't get robbed in Brooklyn, probably because he was a World War I veteran.

In short, Roosevelt proposed the Second Bill of Rights, which included the right of every family to adequate housing, around which there was an infrastructure plan, not only to have a place to live, but also to have a "decent" place, and then he signed the The National Service Act, which means that veterans who have participated in World War II can live in houses built by the infrastructure plan.

  At the same time as the Great Depression, the anti-*** war also started. In 1920, there were 35 countries. In 1938, there were only 17 countries. In 1944, there were only 12 countries. For frontline soldiers to fight without fear, they need to be relieved of their worries and provide them and their families with a "decent" standard of living.

   Rather than gossip about economic laws with economists while starving, Roosevelt chose a more practical approach—creating jobs, which is what the presidents after Roosevelt did.

   Jefferson believed that government action would interfere with individual property rights; Roosevelt believed that property rights ceased to exist without government assistance.

   After all, these two presidents are in different eras and face different contradictions and problems. In Roosevelt's day anyway, starvation and displacement in America were entirely possible.

  The chairs for pedestrians in London have been specially designed. It doesn't matter if you sit for a while, it is very uncomfortable to lie on them. This is done to prevent homeless people from sleeping on them.

   Pomona felt a little tired from the long walk, but she wasn't going to sit on those benches.

   Seeing this scene, it is not difficult to understand why Lily chose to stay in the magical world.

  Penny is married to Feinon, and he's the kind of Muggle who drives a car and sees "weird looks" and always gets bad reviews.

   "I want to see Harry." Pomona stopped suddenly. "Do you know where he lives?"

   "Yes," Severus said. "He's at the Weasleys now."

   "What?" Pomona exclaimed.

   "You don't know?" he asked rhetorically.

   "Why? When? No." She was confused.

   "He doesn't need to live with relatives all summer. He tried it last semester," Severus said. "He's been at the Leaky Cauldron for a month, and this semester's summers don't add up to a month."

   "So he went to the Weasleys for the summer?" Pomona asked.

   "You want to go see?" he said nonchalantly.

   "No... let's go back to the party." Pomona couldn't help covering his nose. "There's a bad smell on this street."

   "Yes, ma'am," Severus said in a good mood, Apparating with her.
