He believes this because theories of market behavior put to paper by a guy who died in 1948 tell him so. Yet he makes it all sound perfectly plausible...

...rooms, which range in size from tiny 157 sq. ft. (14 sq m) Crash Pads to a sprawling rooftop suite complete with garden, are individually designed.
