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
then there is such a space of
height with only many isolated points. This implies
that there is a locally compact scattered space
of height
with
isolated points in ZFC, solving an old problem
of the first author.
