It was Britain’s most expensive house. Why is its only resident a homeless man who lives on the porch?

quote [ 2-8A Rutland Gate had jewel-encrusted bathroom suites and gold wastepaper bins in its 45 rooms, but has lain empty for years. With many people desperate for secure housing, what does the abandonment of this palace tell us about the UK? ]

Remember all them days in abandon houses

There are lots of people who can't afford housing, but this mansion is empty. That makes sense. If someone can't afford any housing, they sure can't afford expensive housing.

On the other hand, why hasn't a rich person bought this place? Maybe they don't like the color of the walls.
