I would like all my land to be entirely house, please. It’s not freedom unless I’m squashed in enough that I can reach out my window and touch my neighbour’s balls.
Edit: Jesus Christ guys, I didn’t know we were so pro-McMansion. Look at how much space these houses are wasting that could go into native green space (not lawns, but the actual nature shit we need to not go insane) or community areas. I’m not against high-density living, I’m against waste, and environmental homogeny
Mfers will build houses like this and then put windows on the side walls
uh isn’t that anti-high density housing
the problem with suburbia is NOT that the living spaces are too squashed together lol
The houses here are too big and take up their whole lot which is also a problem when it’s cheap shitty single family monstrosities like these are. You could fit way more housing and green space into this photo if it wasn’t a cursed suburban horrors
The houses here are too big
Eh, I live in something like one of these and honestly it’s a good size for a group of 4-5 people, whether that be roommates or a family. The real stupid thing with the design is that they’re separated instead of being a row home. I mean you get SOME improved ventilation and lighting with those gaps between the houses but not really enough to justify the space lost.
It looks like shit to me :shrug-outta-hecks:
I don’t have a problem with high-density housing if it’s free and practical. But these are probably million dollar+ houses.
yea, I’m just saying the comment about being “squashed in” could be applied to apartments even moreso.
the problem with suburbia is that you’re destroying land at the expense of having a private fiefdom, and in this case it’s so cramped that you’re not even achieving the latter objective anymore, but are still suffering from the first
Yea I was about to say this looks like an old suburb in Pittsburgh or like a Detroit from when you had to walk to work so they put down row houses to pack people in closer to the job site. The total opposite of the suburban development you’d associate with white families post-white flight where density was shunned for car culture. Source: my great grandmother was a factory worker in northern NJ and lived in a house just like this with her entire family. Still remember the particular stink of that house, just pure old person smell
rowhouse good
