Today’s particular friends of Therese had a production studio in the basement of a low-rise in Neuhausen. There were strict laws in central Munchen about obscuring the skyline with high-rises, so the local real-estate entrepreneurs had tried burrowing into the earth. The faddish subterranean buildings had a big overhead from ventilation and heat pollution, and they’d gone broke so repeatedly that they were forced to rent out to kids.
