Wow, these are the most incredibly high valued pieces of Real Estate! Of course Palaces always have been. Wouldn't be comfortable living in any, too haunting to think of all the spilled blood spent in acquisition from their peasant classes. If one day steemit ♨ makes me ultra rich, I'd only buy with stupidly low offer and then I'd SELL, SELL, SELL! TY for follow @topinteresting

Yeah they are! Nice thinking :D and No problem!
