许多年轻租客并不介意邻居是“逝者”,只要这能降低整栋楼的租金。 中国已明确禁止将居民住宅专门用作骨灰安放场所。因为墓地费用高涨,一些家庭选择在空置的高层住宅中安放亲人骨灰,这样的房子被称作“骨灰房”。 自今日起实施的新修订的《殡葬管理条例》明确禁止这种做法。在人口老龄化加剧、同时房地产市场低迷的背景下,用公寓房安放亲人遗骸变得比墓地更有性价比,使得“骨灰房”日益增多。 “当一个空间失去居住价值时,人们会为其赋予新的价值。对许多人来说,这种新价值就是存放骨灰。”加州大学欧文分校(University of California, Irvine)博士生、曾发表论文《逝者的空间》(Space for the Departed)研究“骨灰房”的吴欣怡(音)说。 成为高端会员,阅读高端专享内容 如您已经是高端会员, 请点击这里登录 成为高端会员►

JARAMA/iStock via Getty Images Back in the middle of October of 2025, I called The Manitowoc Company ( MTW ) a 'buy' candidate. This decision was in spite of the fact that financial metrics for the company had been worsening. Weak market conditions pushed revenue, profits, and cash flows, all lower. Backlog was even declining as orders remained weak. However, I argued that shares of the business were attractively priced and, that while we could see some weakness in the near term, the future for the business seemed bright. From that time through today, shares have risen 15.2%, comfortably outperforming the negative 3.5% increase that the S&P 500 saw. This is great to see in and of itself. And when you add on top of this the fact that shares look incredibly cheap today, especially in light of expectations that management has for 2026, I would argue that further upside is highly probable. At the end of the day, this leaves me no choice but to reaffirm the company as a very solid 'buy' candidate. The picture is looking up… mostly Operationally, things have been going well for the company when it comes to revenue at least. Take the final quarter of the 2025 fiscal year as an example. During that time, revenue was $677.1 million. That's 13.6% above the $586 million that the company reported a year earlier. This jump came in spite of the fact that management has even acknowledged that macroeconomic conditions have had a negative impact on the company. They specifically pointed out inflation, elevated interest rates, and tariffs. But there are other issues as well such as supply chain, labor, and logistics constraints, that have all impacted its ability to expand. Author - SEC EDGAR Data Some of the greatest growth for the company during this time came from its non-new machines operations. Back in 2021, management launched what it called its CRANES+50 strategy, which was dedicated specifically to growing this side of the business. For those not familiar, this involves selli...
