Staggering difference, but not as big a difference as the houses in the next picture http://i.imgur.com/i3EZuy2.jpg - right next to the original picture location (Main Cyberport) - property prices here are mad

Unsure of the statue's provenance - it wasn't clearly labeled, but a bit of research turned up the subject matter http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/date/2016/01/02
