The only thing I see that would concern me is that the planes overlap so that the maneuvering in and out of the spots will be tricky without touching the neighboring planes. I've never heard of airplane lifts, but seems like a really clever solution.

Shoulda drafted a plan where they'd just land the planes directly on the top level.

That's still way better than the McMansions. At least they're sticking to classical architecture instead of ridiculous Frankenhouses.

MrYenko posted:This seriously needs its own thread. Where the hell are you doing this that simply buying/renting/building another hangar is more expensive than replicating the aircraft handling system from the USS Akron? If I had the throw out an answer, it might be financing? Getting another hanger built and financed could be expensive if the airport charges a ton for the land and there isn't a big market for hangers at that airport for the bank to be ok financing all the improvements. At the same time, airplane lifts could be repoed and resold at a loss, but aren't tied to that one specific airport? Spitballing here though.

I love this because they are legitimate in their ugly. They know what they like, and they're doing it, society be damned. McMansions are almost all about doing what the poor and middle class think is 'fancy' and doing it as cheaply as possible. The Roma are just taking their style and upscaling it. If you downscaled a McMansion you'd have a pretty lovely RV. wait poo poo mcmansions are just upscaled mid-range rv's WHAT

With the gypsy mansions, the article mentions that they made their fortune stealing metals from factories and whatnot after the collapse of the communist government. What's especially hilarious is as you go up and down the road, you can see where they've stolen the metal roofs as well as anything that's not nailed down from their neighbours https://goo.gl/maps/n2RPUxm5c4U2

Right, which is why the Roma stuff doesn't really bother many and the mcmansions are so abhorrent. There are large tracts of housing development near my work in the last two years turning farmland into suburbia. The thing that blows me away most isnt the hodge podge of windows but the complete lack thereof. I'd rather live in 1200ft of a literal glass house than five times that space with the windows I see in the new builds. It's like living in some sort of Sartre play, which based on the weird impulses driving people to buy them somehow makes them completely appropriate and truly a testament of our time.

Then again, Old Faithful Inn is terrifyingly weird. I described this to my husband as "if Miyazai set a movie in a late 19th century American national park." And here is a small plumbing issue that I encountered today in the sculpture garden at the Nelson-Atkins Museum. It went on for at least two hours because I took this video on the way in and it was still going when I came out.

30 Goddamned Dicks posted:The thing that bugged me most about the Houston house was the random bench in the middle of the goddamn master bathroom. Like the long suffering gold digger wife put it there so when her octogenarian husband gets up in the middle of the night to take a poo poo he will trip over it, crack his head on the tub, and she can finally run off to Paris with Carlos the pool boy. I dunno. Between the pommel horse with a goddamned block-and-tackle hanging above it, to the bathroom bench obviously for laying on and masturbating while your partner showers, I'm pretty sure this house has seen some kinky rear end poo poo. Perhaps owned by a couple of elderly BSDM enthusiasts, until the fateful day that a hip gave way during some suspension play, and now the kinky poo poo has to be done in a nursing home under medical supervision.

Too many windows and you'll too readily see your neighbors and other surroundings, thus leading you to realize that the estate your sweet mansion is on is actually just another lovely undersized lot in the middle of suburbia.

What are these things and why do they seem to be all over the outside of every new commercial building that gets built near me lately? My only guess is maybe for vines to climb up but why would EVERYWHERE do that?

Javid posted:What are these things and why do they seem to be all over the outside of every new commercial building that gets built near me lately? Local building regs specify something like "XYZ style grates over window frames on commercial building walls above ABC size". Someone in the planning department is being literal and enforcing it even on walls that don't have windows. E: And thankyou thread for introducing me to that McMansion site, some of the houses round here are infuriatingly ugly and now I know exactly which parts bother me about them. You'd think that'd make it worse, but I'm actually way happier now that I can say "If the roofline was lower and they unfucked those windows it wouldn't be too bad".

Probably most of the local commercial properties use the same couple of landscapers who suggest them to keep the places from looking like concrete blocks for dirt cheap.

They could be low volt wiring for the battery powered egress lights. You know, the things that come on when the power goes out that are often attached to the EXIT signs. Code says you have to light a "continuous path to safety" which includes outside of the door at a minimum. If there are steps or other potential hazards involved with getting far enough away form the building sometimes even more has to be lit outside. So if that's along a path it could be the case. Edit: lol, you're talking about the trellises. Yes, that's what trellises are for. Motronic fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Sep 12, 2016 |

Maybe if the plants fill the lattice, they will lower the solar gain on the wall and save some cooling costs?

The trellises would make sense if there were any suitable plants beneath them, instead of misc. shrubbery. My bed is on tax incentive for green buildings. The exposed lighting wiring above each makes no sense tho.
