Do it by the book or do it the way the locals do... and doing it the way the locals do will allow the (libertarian, tolerant-of-others'-customs) Convention to buy more than they would the other way. That looks like a no-brainer to me.
The Convention has enough computing and research power to be able to identify all of the sites that An Taisce has an interest in (especially if we let Dee, Takami, Lebia, and the Library Defense Force run the search). And I touched upon the matter with Sinn Fein and the fringe Republican groups in the very first post in the thread:
The big problem with Detroit is that the USA has a burr under its saddle with regards to Unreal Estate in particular and the Fen in general - moving American buildings into space will cause some talk in DC. The Convention would probably have to set up a front company in Windsor to do the preliminary work...
In both cases, buying and moving just the buildings (leaving the land in place) would likely be easier than launching entire neighbourhoods into orbit. That would also make An Taisce happy if an estate was built over a Gaelic meeting site or some such...

Quote:And while I suspect that Ireland would allow some Unreal Estate launches just because the UK doesn't like Unreal Estate, the Irish are possessive of their homes...I'm guessing we didn't put enough thought into that part of the matter, though.
