The reason people are downsizing is from what I am seeing is that either their kids have left home, they got stuck at home during Covid with someone they hated and have got divorced and need to split it 50/50, they got laid off from work thanks to covid and have to take a lesser salary or want to free up some cash because their other investment returns are tanking.
There are a lot of very very nice flats here. I'm considering buying one. Nice view ...

Looks nice for a lab, but what does it have for a living room and bedrooms ?! :-DD

You're doing it wrong:
Living room = lab with sofa in it.
Bedroom = storage area with bed in it.

So the usual reasons, but people are forced to sell their current house low and buy a new house high. Oops.
These are my views..

The 4000 series have one nice characteristic: operation at IIRC 3V to 15V
Back in the late 70s I used some to build a fllter with a Q of 4000 using 10% capacitors, capable of measuring 1pW using bog-standard LF351 op amps, and a dynamic range of 180dB (90dB optical).

Yes and no. A lot of the characteristics were wide across the voltage range which was a big problem. A fine example I saw was a car alarm built around a couple of CD4001's. It only worked properly if the battery was above about 11.5 volts. So if you didn't use your car for a few weeks then it'd go off all by itself :-DD

You are a bad mouth, you simply failed to appreciate the rich feature set of this alarm. It has an option to alarm you when your battery is running low, which is useful in itself !
Especially on modern cars I hear, where a low battery can upset lots of ECU all around the car and they fill the main ECU with thousands of nonsensical errors that don't even exist :palm:
