Since $X$ is second countable, there cannot exist uncountable strictly decreasing chains of closed sets: Suppose $\langle X_{\alpha}, \alpha < \omega_1\rangle$ was such a sequence, then $X \setminus X_{\alpha}$ is open for every $\alpha$, Let $\{U_n : n < \omega\}$ be a countable basis. Then $N(\alpha) = \{n | U_n \cap (X \setminus X_\alpha) \neq \emptyset\}$, is a strictly ascending chain in $\omega$. \item We need to show that $X_{\alpha_0}$ is perfect and closed. It is closed since all $X_{\alpha}$ are, and perfect, as a closed set $F$ is perfect iff it coincides $F'$. $X \setminus X_{\alpha_0}$ is countable: $X_{\alpha} \setminus X_{\alpha + 1}$ is countable as for every $x$ there exists a basic open set $U$, such that $U \cap X_{\alpha} = \{x\}$, and the space is second countable. Hence $X \setminus X_{\alpha_0}$ is countable as a countable union of countable sets. \end{enumerate} \subsection{Exercise 3} \begin{itemize} \item Let $Y \subseteq \R$ be $G_\delta$ such that $Y$ and $\R \setminus Y$ are dense in $\R$. Then $Y \cong \cN$. $Y$ is Polish, since it is $G_\delta$. $Y$ is 0-dimensional, since the sets $(a,b) \cap Y$ for $a, b \in \R \setminus Y$ form a clopen basis. Each compact subset of $Y$ has empty interior: Let $K \subseteq Y$ be compact and $U \subseteq K$ be open in $Y$. Then we can find cover of $U$ that has no finite subcover $\lightning$. \item Let $Y \subseteq \R$ be $G_\delta$ and dense such that $\R \setminus Y$ is dense as well. Define $Z \coloneqq \{x \in \R^2 | |x| \in Y\} \subseteq \R^2$. Then $Z$ is dense in $\R^2$ and $\R^2 \setminus \Z$ is dense in $\R^2$. We have that for every $y \in Y$ $\partial B_y(0) \subseteq Z$. Other example: Consider $\R^2 \setminus \Q^2$. \end{itemize}
