Now, now, let's not be hasty - markets show oxygen scores very highly with consumers and it doesn't take very long without it before they become very compliant to a reasonable regimen of fees plus a standing charge.

They seem to cope reasonably well on some lines in the New York Subway that are basically straight over fairly long distances - eg in to Queens, where a passing/express line lets trains pass through stations with other trains stopped. Express Subway trains only stopped every few stations (4-6?), where passengers could then change to a local/stopping train when nearer their destination.

IIRC Sharia has quite a lot of opt-outs/flexibility when it comes to merchant/trading activities.

Thing is you need all of those things if you're going to build there anyway. Making the footprint as small as possible, and taking as much advantage of site characteristics (like orientation, see that thing teuchter quoted) as possible is going to be the most efficient way to do that.
This is independent of mismanagement, human rights etc of course.

Tbf I don't know why they had to make it a straight line rather than a circle.It's called THE LINE. Not the circle. You can't call a circle a line. Bloody hell.

Further proof that we need to get off of oil with extreme haste. It's not only adding to climate change, it's enabling shit like this to happen.

Very likely. Brunswick centre is another popular brutalist location that has a a broadly similar aesthetic (different architect).
Worth reading up on Camden Council architects and Neave Brown. If you walk around Camden you'll see the relics of that department, and a time when there was hope for innovative approaches to social housing.

I think there was a film crew there every couple of months, some of the productions which got shot there are in the Wikipedia article I linked to. Rowley Way has even has played the Munich Olympic Village in the mini series of The Little Drummer Girl.
