Consistency of a strange (choice-wise) set of reals
Consider a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that
$X$ is not separable wrt its subspace topology
For all $r\in\mathbb{R}$ there exists a sequence $(x_n)_{n\in\omega} \subset X$ converging to $r$
In a ...

I know that Choice ...

Consistency of a strange (choice-wise) set of reals, pt. 2
This is a follow-up on this question. Consider a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that
$X$ is not separable wrt its subspace topology
