The Chinese government had big plans for its real estate—so how did it end up with hoards of abandoned mansions across the country? Take the State Guest Mansions, a development envisioned as the palatial homes for the upper crust of society. Now their only residents are hurdles of cattle and the occasional adventure explorers meandering like ghosts around the arched verandas and stone façades of hundreds of abandoned villas. Located around the hills of Shenyang (about 400 miles northeast of Beijing), the development was originally planned by Greenland Group, a Shanghai-based real estate developer, and broke ground in 2010.

The pristine property, known as Virgin Island, offers the chance to be a steward of a sprawling expanse of land and sea in the stunning Patagonian Archipelago.

Peter Avitabile sat in his pickup truck outside his Rockland townhouse — a place he hadn't set foot in for two years — fuming about the tenant who refused to pay rent and refused to leave. “God forbid someone pay to live in their property,” Avitabile said, staring at the front door of the apartment he first rented to the tenant in November of 2020.  “I paid for this woman to live there for two years now, on my own dime, and I'm probably never going to see that money again.” With sky-high rents and a lack of affordable housing, it can be hard to have sympathy for landlords. Massachusetts has instituted strong protections against unscrupulous...

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is officially in full swing in Singapore - but not everyone's pleased. The 'Bad Blood' hitmaker has been on tour since March 2023, and the Eras Tour has since been crowned as the highest-grossing tour of all time.
