Letter: Value of a house set in concrete
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Those poor, unsophisticated readers who share my view that Rachel Whiteread's concoction House is utter rubbish can rest assured that, despite the pleas of the Independent, the monstrosity will not remain in place beyond the end of November.
The Bow Neighbourhood Committee decided on a date for removal even before work began, in order that we can continue laying out a new park. This half-constructed park is, naturally, littered with bricks, bulldozers and half- demolished roads as work goes on. Your dismissal of it as merely 'scruffy' leads me to wonder what sort of standards you have in municipal parks as well as in art.
Yours faithfully,
ERIC FLOUNDERS
