Tomorrow I am teaching a book I admire--Paul Krugman's Development, Geography and Economic Theory. The book contains three Olin Lectures that are beautifully written, accessible and insightful. But on page 58, he quotes Gertrude Stein as having said that Los Angeles had "no there there."
She actually was referring to her home town. Specifically, she wrote:
What was the use of my having come from Oakland it was not natural to have come from there yes write about it if I like or anything if I like but not there, there is no there there.I am not sure Oakland deserves the insult either, but still, LA gets enough abuse as it is.

A one-bedroom apartment has a living or dining room istanbul property separate from the bedroom. Two bedroom, three bedroom, and larger units are common.
(A bedroom is defined istanbul properties as a room with a closet for clothes storage.)
The size of an apartment or house can be istanbul property described in square feet or meters. In the United States, this istanbul real estate includes the area of "living space",
excluding the garage and other non-living spaces. The "square meters" figure of a house in Europe istanbul properties may report the total area of the walls enclosing the home,
thus including any attached garage and non-living spaces, which makes it important to inquire what kind of surface definition has been used.
