Description:
Due to the redesign of the Paris avenues by Haussmann many houses were demolished in favor of representative boulevards. This contributed to a serious shortage of apartments. Here we see a landlord talking to his friend about adding two basements. And if he does not rent them, he can always you the space to grow fungi.
