MILL COTTAGE
“Sold, sir.”
“What do you mean, sold?” asked Harry incredulously. “You gave me the particulars only
yesterday.”
“Sellers’ market, sir. Things are moving fast at the moment. Spring, you know.” The young
estate agent looked as though he had been born just a few weeks ago, though his attitude
was more like that expected of a long-standing member of the House of Lords. He stood
there in his tweed jacket, corduroys and check shirt, fresh from an estate management
course and looking as though he owned half of Cirencester.
Harry just said, “I am well acquainted with the seasons. What I don’t understand is why
barely fifteen hours ago you would give me the details of a property that you now tell me is
sold.”
“Well, it is not exactly sold, sir, but it is under offer.”
“Which means?”
“Which means that somebody has said they will buy it.”
“But they haven’t bought it yet?”
A slight flush appeared in the young man’s cheeks. “They have not yet exchanged
contracts. That will occur once they are happy with the survey and their solicitor’s searches.
We expect completion within the month.”

at it?”
“As I say, sir, it is under offer.”
“And if the client has second thoughts?”
“Very unlikely, sir. This is, after all, a highly desirable property ”
“A highly desirable property that needs a master builder to get it habitable.” Harry pointed
to the photograph of the picturesque ruin. “Might I have the keys? If your current sale doesn’t
go ahead, you’ll have something in the way of back-up.” Harry spoke in a voice that did not
allow any contradiction. The better part of twenty years of teaching small boys had offered
ample opportunity to refine an intimidating tone; a tone that would strike someone so recently
of school age as being impossible to contradict. It did the trick. The young man said
obediently, “Of course, sir,” and handed over the keys.

HOW ABOUT MICRO LIVING?
Carmel Place is New York City’s first apartment building consisting exclusively of micro units

\n\n

Dan Tomita recently moved into Carmel Place after flat-sharing in a series of larger
dwellings. He came to New York some years ago to attend university. He first learned about
the Carmel Place development when his class visited the Capsys factory where the
building’s modular units were being manufactured. When he graduated, Dan landed a job
at Ollie, a company that promises “an all-inclusive living experience at accessible prices”.
It’s a housing management provider with services including free Wi-Fi, housekeeping, and
even grocery shopping, along with an on-site community manager. Coincidentally, the first
New York City building that Ollie worked on was Carmel Place. Dan decided to move into
one of the tiny apartments there.
Downsizing to a 300-square-foot apartment was not an issue for Dan; if anything, he found
that he had too much storage space, since the unit comes with a fold-down bed. However,
he had to buy a sound machine since the apartment lacked the noise he had been used to.
That points to a major downside of micro living - loneliness. After years of sharing, living
alone has been more of an adjustment than Dan was expecting. Still, there are some
upsides. The absence of distractions definitely helps you get work done.
Dan doesn’t see his current situation as permanent. Although it is a satisfactory option at this
stage of his life, he has bigger plans for the future.

C. criticizes modern trends in housing aimed at young employees.
