And plenty of ordinary savers would be ruined.

Let me emphasize high rise living is not for families of five. They
are for singles and couples whose children have grown.

Works in the far east. But there tends to be less loutish behaviour in those

Works to a limited extent in Scotland - 3-5 story tenements are common
in cities, villa flats (often look like large semis, but made up of 4
