Lemma 68.8.5. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $X$ be a quasi-compact, reasonable algebraic space over $S$. There exist an integer $n$ and open subspaces
\[ \emptyset = U_{n + 1} \subset U_ n \subset U_{n - 1} \subset \ldots \subset U_1 = X \]
such that each $T_ p = U_ p \setminus U_{p + 1}$ (with reduced induced subspace structure) is a scheme.
