Abstract: Kunen's proof of the non-existence of Reinhardt cardinals opened up the research on very large cardinals, i.e., hypotheses at the limit of inconsistency. One of these large cardinals, I0, proved to have descriptive-set-theoretical characteristics, similar to those implied by the Axiom of Determinacy: if $lambda$ witnesses I0, then there is a topology for $V_{lambda+1}$ that is completely metrizable and with weight $lambda$ (i.e., it is a $lambda$-Polish space), and it turns out that all the subsets of $V_{lambda+1}$ in $L(V_{lambda+1})$ have the $lambda$-Perfect Set Property in such topology. In this paper, we find another generalized Polish space of singular weight $kappa$ of cofinality $omega$ such that all its subsets have the $kappa$-Perfect Set Property, and in doing this, we are lowering the consistency strength of such property from I0 to $kappa$ $heta$-supercompact, with $heta>kappa$ inaccessible.
