Housing
anywhere else.
The dislike of living in flats is very strong despite of that they are
very comfortable.
People said they felt cut off from the world all those floors up. The
new highrise blocks quickly deteriorated.
Private property and public property
Home as a castle implies a clear demarcation between private
property and public domain.
Flats involve uncertainties.
Uncetainties perhaps explain why the ,,communal" living expected of
flatdwellers has been unsuccessful.
Law and custom seem to support a clear separation between public
and private.
People who lives in public domain also have a lot of restrictions and
dutyes.
People who lives in the private property have no restriction for own
property and it shows exactly where the private property begins.
The importance of "home"
British people have little deeprooted attachment to their house as
an object, or to the land on which it stands.
