And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Kiruna, Sweden is being moved two miles due to subsidence from the iron mine. I would guess that these buildings are being moved to create wider roadways through the town without having to buy/expropriate and demolish all those buildings. The entire downtown of Chicago was lifted in the 1850s. Al_in_Ottawa
That video is Shanghai, they moved them over to run a new subway then moved them back on top. They were 100 year old buildings with some sort of significance.
Getting some real Mortal Instruments vibes here. First one block is moving, then one neighborhood eats up another, next thing you know London is devouring Salzberg and we haven't even dropped nukes yet.
Maryland is taking this technique under consideration for its next round of gerrymandering in the hopes of eliminating the last Republican Congressional district in the state.

ReplyDeleteI’m not sure the reason, but fuck yah, that’s cool
ReplyDeleteIt would've been cooler if they did it at night, and didn't warn anyone.
