-There’s a mind-bending Soviet-era oil rig city ‘floating’ on the planet’s largest lake [[https://kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd.cc/|kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad onion]]
+Londoners are paying to live in deserted schools, office blocks and an old cathedral to avoid ‘insane’ rents [[https://kra27-28.cc/|Кракен тор]]
-When filmmaker Marc Wolfensberger first found out about Neft Daşları, he thought it was a myth. He kept hearing about this secretive city, sprawled like floating, rusting tentacles across the Caspian Sea, far from the nearest shoreline. But very few had ever seen it, he said. “The degree of mystery was enormously high.”
+Opposite a bed in central London, light filters through a stained-glass window depicting, in fragments of copper and blue, Jesus Christ.
-It wasn’t until he saw it with his own eyes, when he managed to travel there on a water delivery ship in the late 1990s, that he knew it was real. It “was beyond anything I had seen before,” he told CNN. Guarded by military vessels, it was like “a motorway in the middle of the sea,” he said, stretching out “like an octopus.”
+Three people have lived in the deserted cathedral in the past two years, with each occupant — an electrician, a sound engineer and a journalist — paying a monthly fee to live in the priest’s quarters.
-Desperate to document this mind-boggling city, he spent eight years convincing Azerbaijan’s government to let him return, which he finally did in 2008, spending two weeks there to make his film, “Oil Rocks: City Above the Sea.”
+The cathedral is managed by Live-in Guardians, a company finding occupants for disused properties, including schools, libraries and pubs, across Britain. The residents — so-called property guardians — pay a fixed monthly “license fee,” which is usually much lower than the typical rent in the same area.
-Neft Daşları, which translates to “Oil Rocks,” is a tangle of oil wells and production sites connected by miles of bridges in the vastness of the Caspian Sea, the world’s largest lake. It’s around 60 miles off the coast of Azerbaijan’s capital city of Baku and a six-hour boat ride from the mainland.
-It is the world’s oldest offshore oil platform, according to the Guinness Book of records, and at its peak, bustled with more than 5,000 inhabitants.
+Applications to become guardians are going “through the roof,” with more people in their late thirties and forties signing on than in the past, said Arthur Duke, the founder and managing director of Live-in Guardians.
+“That’s been brought about by the cost-of-living crisis,” he said. “People are looking for cheaper ways to live.”
+The practice of populating disused properties with guardians is unregulated in Britain and comes with fewer legal protections for the residents than renting. Guardians have also complained of inconveniences and outright hazards, such as no access to drinkable tap water and rickety ceilings.
+Still, demand for guardianships is rocketing as rents and property prices remain unaffordable for scores of people in many parts of the country.
+Luke Williams has saved “thousands and thousands of pounds on rent” as a guardian over the past six years. The 45-year-old currently lives in a former office block in east London. It’s a huge, open-plan space still dotted with whiteboards and hand sanitizer dispensers.
+Williams said his job a project manager for a tech company pays well, yet “insane” rental costs in the British capital are keeping him in guardianships as much as his penchant for the unusual.
+“As well as making financial sense, I like the lifestyle, and I like the interesting, quirky places,” he said.
