I would have no issues living above my workshop or whatever, but I cannot approve of this. It hurts my brain trying to justify it.

I've heard people around here call these toy box houses. You live in a little apartment upstairs and the downstairs is full of your cars, jet skis, motorcycles, etc.

I thought it was some sort of joke and they weren't actually houses but it looks like that photo is at an angle that makes them look weirder than they are:

The built environment should stir your soul and make you feel something positive, those things are absolute loving dog puke. They should not exist.

Ham Equity posted:...how is this less weird? Not to say they're not dumb in other ways, or that it's not inefficient to use that much space for a garage, but they aren't a house that's literally just a garage with a tiny amount of space over it. They're basically just townhouses but set up in a really dumb way because I guess you need garages and vestigial lawns to get americans to buy them

None of that matters. They're just investments. You're not supposed to actually look at them or, god forbid, live in them.

How much do you want to bet those garages aren't big enough to fit most of the XXL tanks parked in the driveways?

I mean ok, we moved our living room upstairs into one of the bedrooms, so downstairs is now the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bike room, and putting garage doors on the front of the house would make it easier to get the bikes out...

That said if those were going for like 80k or whatever the inflation adjusted amount starter homes used to go for I'd be all about it, but my lmaos are underpinned with my absolute certainty that those are in some doomed Phoenix exurb and selling for 450k

actionjackson posted:2004 actually lol that’s the one. the back of the dvd player comparison is great too, even the new single family homes in my neighborhood have these boring but recognizable facades and then the sides are just three story walls of siding with six different sized windows scattered randomly across the surface. if anything the comparison is unfair to dvd players. the back of your average hifi set shows more consideration to design than these buildings

It's not just the houses, it's the fact that they're in the middle of a flat, featureless plain. Like, who the gently caress wants to live there? That looks like literal hell.

It's a reference to the show, The Good Place. When people die, they go to The Good Place or The Bad Place. The Medium Place is a sort of purgatory for a single human that no one is really sure what to do with because her karma is perfectly balanced between good and bad. She The Medium Place looks like those homes.
