Abstract
We introduce a general method of constructing locally compact scattered spaces from certain families of sets and then, with the help of this method, we prove that if κ<κ = κ, then there is such a space of height κ+ with only κ many isolated points. This implies that there is a locally compact scattered space of height ω2 with ω1 isolated points in ZFC, solving an old problem of the first author.
