Ganz Barcelona steht voll von sowas:

In einer HInsicht muss ich Don Recht geben: Es kommt drauf an, was man aus dem eigenen Ambiente macht. Sicher hat der Hüter eines Stadtpalais in Oberbayern, der Besitzer eines Bauernhofs in Norddeutschland, die Bewohnerin einer Eigentumswohnung in einer Jugendstilvilla im Vorderen Westen oder der künftige Erbe eines mehrstöckigen MIetshauses in einer alten Hansestadt andere Möglichkeiten als die Bewohnerin eines WG-Zimmers im Industriegebiet oder jemand, der zur Miete in einem Altbau in einem Berliner Problemviertel lebt und zum Luftholen in die Hasenheide muss, trotzdem kommt es darauf an, ob man es versteht, stilvoll mit dem Vorgefundenen umzugehen oder nicht. Ein Nachbargrundstück ist wesentlich größer als unseres, aber mit einem Garagenhof verziert. Bringt viel Kohle, sieht aber scheußlich aus. Ein anderer Nachbar hat seinen Garten mit Schuppen und Verschlägen verunstaltet - auch nicht schön.

Ich hingegen erfreue mich eines wunderschönen Gartens, ach was, Parks, der auf einem alten Hinterhof entstand.

Vergleiche ich die moderne Monstralarchitektur hiermit, ist klar, wer gewonnen hat:

Tony Onouha killed by the greek police

The state repression hasn't degraded at all, despite the upcoming
elections and the hot summer. During the evening of Saturday 18th of
August 2007, according to reports, undercover policemen were after the
25-year-old Tony Onouha, immigrant from Nigeria, who had been selling CDs
in a cafe in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki.Tony Onouha, let your spirit go after
the policemen that killed you Based on denouncements of his fellow
countrymen, Tony Onouha, recognised those policemen as the ones who had
beaten him up, one year ago. He tried to run away and finally fell from
the first floor of the cafe, 5 meters height, to the street, where he died
instantly. [photos]
Some reports say that the immigrant was pushed by the police officers. In
any case, the death of Tony Onouha is one more assassination by the state
repression mechanism, the Hellenic Police.

Right after Onouha's death, his fellow countrymen and anarchists in
solidarity had a vigil at the place of the incident. Some of them
protested and had a conflict with the riot police and undercover policemen
who went there to suppress the protest. Roadblocks were set up and the
riots kept on until Sunday 4am. [photos]

On Monday afternoon, 500 hundred people participated in demonstration
including many people from the black community and people in solidarity,
including the antiracist initiative of Thessaloniki, left and
anarchist/antiauthoritarian groups. When the march was in front of the
Polce Department, the demonstrators threw a lot stones against the
guarding riot police.
