To have a car (private) in Japan it is mandatory to have a parking (private). The measure seems controversial, as the regulation (the securities systems here) allows the occupation of spaces where the car deposit is public. That is, the problem is conceived as a responsibility of advertising recognizing that the presence of the car is part of the immobile street. The car needs a large territorial space, immobile and moving, and we consider it a public service. We have assumed to be that way and we have become accustomed to it until we have a right. The Japanese measure can be a social leap (only the one with money will have a car), but at the same time it will make possible other situations: incorporating carpooling as a transport model and socialising the need for a more elaborate transport system.
The custom, the parking we keep under our bed, in the basement of the house. I mean, the house has to be a basement, as usual. The public housing administration of the Balearic Islands has calculated the cost of building the basement of the car parks, which accounts for 40% of the total cost of construction. The commitment of this administration has been to allocate the money from the parking lots in the basement to improve the quality of the house. It is somehow understood that the quality of housing is a basic right and that the private vehicle is not.
There is an award-winning series, The Architect, which focuses its plot on the debate on the cities of the future in the parking lots of the basement. The series represents without use the huge parking spaces we have built, adapting the use of the dwelling. Close to the fiction and aware of the conflict of the great space of cars, there are architects who design house parkings one day to make habitable, bringing the floor of the parkings to the semi-basement, so that the real houses will improve the delirium of fiction.

What blew me a lot is the way some doctors talk to the patient. They talk to us about pain as if we were children. As I have had two kidney transplants, I know what I mean: among other things, I have had a tube inside my penis. Because of the anesthesia, I didn't feel how I got... [+]

We are seeing more and more spelling errors in the writings of social networks, not only of young people, but also of the media. Some have become so common that they hardly hurt their eyes.

Once I wrote, as if we were overloaded with milk, that we were getting close to the white page of the columns; we couldn't keep it there, we couldn't stop explaining it. They seem to be written in a hurry to be read in a hurry. We already said that there were things to leave for... [+]
The song Piromanía de Anari I'm going down a port, behind a small truck. “The forest that has made the time, its beast, its bush, that is undressed for you and clothed with you. What you take care of so that it is beautiful and true… But you also love fire as well as the... [+]
The belief that work makes sense of our lives is in crisis, at least as late industrialization did. We could define this working character as a Protestant ethic of work, in the way in which the bourgeoisie has developed with its own interest (useful for capitalism), assumed by... [+]
