LONDON IS GIVING A MASSIVE PARTY in 2012 .. WAS YOUR FAMILY INVITED?
                    
Did you ever hear of a host building a fabulous party tent for a huge,2-week long ball, investing all of his money in landscaping the grounds, building mansions to host his guest visitors, creating enormous kitchens to create three lucious feasts a day for 2 weeks, hiring thousands of servants and after the party the Host is able to sell the housing for three times what he paid to build it? AHHHH the wonders of Modern Capitalism! Today's oligarchs really have it wired!

SPITTLEFIELDS, EAST LONDON once an ancient Roman cemetery, SHOREDITCH, site of a Medieval nunnery, have now been cleared. All the delightful galleries and artists' colonies, --the last cheap rents in London are to be flattened.  THE most picturesque SLUMS in any MAJOR NORTHERN HEMISPHERE CITY THAT EVER EXISTED, with a HISTORY of DICKENSIAN MISERY --have been cleared. Vaporized. Its tenants evicted.  http://www.hic-net.org/articles.php?pid=1978

The PARTY is the 2012 OLYMPICS. They need the space for an OLYMPIC VILLAGE but hey, it won't be a total loss. They get to sell these posh condos immediately afterwards, in august 2012!

STUDY ON THE HABITS OF CANDIDATE CITIES RELATED TO SLUM CLEARANCE.

As part of its project on “Mega-Events, Olympic Games and Housing Rights” the Centre
on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE) analysed the various Candidate Cities for
the 2012 Olympic Games (London, Madrid, Moscow, New-York and Paris) in order to
address how housing related issues were integrated in their Candidature file.
We found that limited but positive housing related considerations were outlined in the
Candidate Cities’ bid books which, in limited ways, addressed some housing concerns.
For example, some Candidate Cities promised that accommodation constructed for the
Olympic Games would be used (in part) for social and low cost housing after the
Olympic Games. These positive announcements were made voluntarily by Host Cities,
and were not requested in the Candidature Manual or in any other guidelines produced
by the IOC. Indeed, the IOC did not take in to account any housing related concerns in
its consideration of the Candidate Cities and the election of the Host City.

Since the election of London as the Host City for the 2012 Olympic Games, COHRE
has followed the preparations underway in that city, and the impacts on housing rights
that are already becoming evident, in particular in the East London area. Already, over
five years before the Olympic Games are due to be staged, over 1,000 people face the
threat of displacement from their homes, (LIE! TRY ONE MILLION!)
and housing prices are escalating. As is common in Olympic Host Cities, these effects
are being disproportionately felt by marginalised groups: in particular
"the poor, low-income earners, residents of public housing, and ethnic
minorities such as Romani Gypsies and Irish Travellers." YEAH RIGHT
the ultimate NOBODIES. SURE. Not Londoners. No way Jose. OUTCASTS.

"..the Candidate Cities generally do not detail the current use of the areas
that would become sites for Olympic venues. These areas are simply described as
‘undeveloped’, ‘wasteland’ or ‘abandoned’. However some bid books give a more precise
description: for example, New York explained it would use “rail yards, vacant lands,
parking lots and warehouses” for the location of its facilities. It also acknowledged that
a part of the site in Queens was privately owned and needed to be purchased. Madrid
also gave more details on the site envisioned for the Olympic Village, the old mining area
of the southern bank of the Manzanares River." We might google the fates of these areas
POST OLYMPICS.

None of the Candidate Cities of the past took into account the possible impact of
Olympics related construction on the housing situation of the local communities. For
instance, Moscow selected the sites in order “to ensure maximum ease regarding access
to the venues”. The candidature file for Paris also cited among the reasons for choosing
the locations, their central location or the presence of existing venues and world famous
settings, but nothing was mentioned about the impact on local residents."
