When using other homes to compare prices, try to use homes that have been built within the last six months.

In Lavin's opinion, because "an explicit aim of critical theory was to undermine the tyranny of Western philosophical tradition," this brand of theory, which had "a ring of resistance to it, an aura of the avant-garde, of the radical," appeared "to offer architecture the radical weaponry once offered by a flat roof and a little exposed concrete.
