Totalitarian Architecture of the Third Reich.

These buildings failed to yield results because the fundamentals were wrong and because no-one is exempt from natural law.

It is why East coast towns are often more prosperous than West coast towns.

It is why towns built on a slope towards the North-East are often more prosperous than those on a slope towards the South-West.

In basic terms, it is even the secret of Japanese success:

they are the first of many countries in the world to receive the rays of morning sun.

What could be more logical than this?

Have you ever been to the western coast of North America? Vancouver, Seattle, Portland & the entire California Coast? The whole region was a Garden of Eden & the cities generally more prosperous then many East coast cities, e.g. Portland v. Newark, San Francisco v. Baltimore, San Diego v. Providence. California's curse is that the whole world wanted to come to California. It has been the lack of man's law, specifically immigration control, that is responsible for California's current mess.

Also you would have to consider towns on the west coast of Eurasia (western Europe) vs those on the east coast of Eurasia (Thailand, Vietnam, China, Russian Far East). Additionally, in Africa and South America, there is no noticeable quality difference between east coast and west coast settlements.

Pandora's Box/Can-of-worms. ughhh......

Where.

Well, this is what occurs when one reads about something, spins it in the brain, and calls it 'real': If you had ever actually been to Japan, you would know that given it's placement upon our Earth, most 'Feng shui' applications as concerns sunlight across the far-East utilse True South as the primary source of sunlight as that is where it appears.

Logic.

What convinced me was putting it into practice in the town I lived in.

In Aberdeen, the only street I could find which conformed to perfect vaasthu was Devanha Terrace; a beautiful row of houses.

Although my choice was limited by what was quickly available when I moved to London, my next move will be influenced by vaasthu, and I think that I have found a good location in Highgate, North-East of where I stay currently.

According to books I am reading here in India, my current location in London is good, but will not bring me financial success. The previous occupant became a successful childrens TV presenter and moved up to Muswell Hill, my second preference, better than Highgate according to vaasthu, but with poor public transport links.

Perhaps see this for yourself.... Look for a row of houses in your city running South to due North, facing East, on a slope East/North/North-East/Level.

You will observe that the houses facing West on that street are inferior.

Their curtains are shoddy and their gardens and cars are scruffy.

The best district of Athens is Plaka as it has a hillock to the South-West.

The best street in Plaka is Filotheis Street. It leads North towards the Cathedral.

In fact, Plaka is the only bearable part of Athens... Absinthe?

In fact, Plaka is the only bearable part of Athens... Absinthe?

And the least affordable.

And the least affordable.

My dear, I strongly advise you to find an East-facing room on Filotheis Street.

Surely the owner of Milton's does not need all of those rooms?

They can ask quite a price for their food at that restaurant, and I swear that it is only the location which facilitates it...

Those things do tend to go together

The rest of the Nazi architecture was dreary but credit where credit is due, Adolf, your Berghof wasn't so bad at all.

I would feel so oppressed if I were to live anywhere like that. That is the ulterior motive, of course. I have a deep appreciation of wide open spaces.

That's exactly the objective, to show the strenght of the regime to subjugate the individual, to make him feel insignificant. An heritage of the Roman Architecture.
