New Preprint Alert!

I'm excited to share my latest research: "Modern Vivianite at the K–Pg Boundary, New Jersey Coastal Plain: A Redox-Driven Proxy at a Legacy Stratigraphic Interface."​

"Calls are mounting to pass the secondary legislation needed to enforce the #Freehold Reform Act 2024, which would ban developers from selling new houses as leaseholds, make it cheaper to extend a lease and increase the standard lease length to 990 years. The new government is also planning further reform with the introduction of the #leasehold and #commonhold reform bill."

The UK leasehold system sounds like they tried to copy Home Owners Associations and make them worse... Of course as this article points out it pre-dates America by a long stretch.

But I wonder how many of the freehold buildings that will replace leasehold will have as many issues as American HOAs?
