why would anybody buy that. that’s smaller and more expensive than most of the apartment listings in my neighborhood, which is supposedly one of the most inaccessibly pricy areas in the country and not the middle of nowhere like that appears to be

In my are of San Diego stuff like this: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1601-Madison-Ave-San-Diego-CA-92116/81959669_zpid/ will sell for six digits more than a larger condo in a multi unit building.

There's absolutely no issue with small houses they should just be built as something like cottage courts which loving rule rather than inefficiently avoiding any common spaces like the plague to copy the worst aspects of american suburbs just so they can look like a fisher price my first single family home Also they shouldn't require driving/car ownership because it's a massive waste of space to have to devote space for cars for really small houses mystes has issued a correction as of 19:25 on Jul 8, 2023 |

Austin area is similarly insane, I still have friends there. My brother in law is renting a place smaller than those houses for $1660/mo an hour out of town. What you're telling me is that Seattle rentals are pretty reasonably priced compared to elsewhere in the US. A mortgage calculator tells me that even at 7% interest the payment on the bigger of those places would be around $950/mo, assuming you have a down payment.

I'd freak the gently caress out about new development because the only things that are being built these days are horrible awful five over ones or some sort of farmhouse style mcmansion bullshit. Literally no one is building actual new housing for honest working folks we just gotta squat in the ruins of the old

gradenko_2000 posted:Rode my bike today Excellent, nice elevation gain. I've gotten used to biking in the Midwest again so it's always like 40 km distance, 3 m gain. I was out biking today, got to a cross street and there was a funeral going by, so I turned around, went the other way, and almost got hit by a driver who blew a stop sign. He just shrugged as he went by... and got caught by the same funeral, so I went over and yelled at him. Felt good.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Never affordable, poor quality construction, ugly, always "Never affordable" is an interesting take when they are the cost cut, cheapest thing we're capable of building. 5 over 1s are the cheapest new rental housing we can build. If your complaint is that it costs more to rent than a 50 year old apartment, then yes, of course it does. We can't build new 50 year old buildings. 5 over 1s are saving us from even higher rents than we currently have.

yeah the apartments in them still cost $fuckyou to rent, with the added bonus of the buildings being poorly-built garbage that burns down at the slightest provocation and resists damp about as well as cardboard (because that's basically what they're made of), but with brushed nickel fixtures and greige laminate flooring to 'justify' the 'luxury' pricing

Hubbert posted:just radically increasing the cost of my lovely shipping container house just so my subcompact can have housing too A subcompact that, as of two days ago, Ford doesn't even make any more. Because, despite in being one of the best-selling cars in the UK for decades (and in many other markets) it has lower profit margins per car sold than Ford's Puma SUV, which has been promoted and prioritised in its place. Ford decided that a next-gen EV or hybrid Fiesta wasn't profitable enough.

BalloonFish posted:A subcompact that, as of two days ago, Ford doesn't even make any more. also a subcompact that they have consistently been increasing in size for years till its closer to a loving sedan than other cars in its class. still, seems like the trend for everyone, not just ford, is jamming crossovers down the public's throat. those are not only more expensive, but they are also heavier and more polluting while offering the same amount of internal space as the cars they are substituting. they also occupy more space, and have higher centers of mass which make them more dangerous to all other road users. an insane value proposition if your value proposition is 'increasing all the negative externalities for literally only the manufacturer's benefit'

Parking is a huge part of what makes missing middle housing hard to build since you either have to sacrifice 3/4 of your lot to parking or build underground parking that costs twice as much as the rest of the building.

yeah abolishing ridiculously excessive parking minimums is definitely a key step in even trying to unfuck any of this, there's no loving reason housing should be built around the default assumption that every unit will need 2 or 3 or 4 parking spaces, that 'ideal cottage court' up there has one off-street parking spot for each unit in back
