They can do it but we have to demand it and create laws that, at the very least, allow these types of buildings. Many cities have setback requirements that would not even allow a home like this to be built.
Those houses are awfully close together but they are cute!
Good ole' Arizona houses...basically a giant garage with a small home on the side. Definitely don't miss that. Yuck.
Anyway, the neighborhood I live in. North End Boston.
AH! LoConte's!!! Love that restaurant. Been to LaFamiglia too, but LoConte's was much better (and no lines waiting to get in)...the North End is great!
Pretentious is nationwide. Here's some from my region.
I don't understand why some people wish to "flaunt" their wealth.
Are those pics really from the SWB area? I thought it was just a poor coal mining area. Now those pics look like something out of Chester County or the Main Line!
What makes sprawling suburbs popular is that you can get a large cookie cutter house for dirt cheap prices, especially in the middle of the country. In a city like Olathe, KS at the SW edge of the KC metro area their are many stucco McMansions for sale between 250-350K and I am sure many are over 3000 square feet.
I hate the replicated nature of the newer houses in the neighborhoods, especially when they bulldoze all the trees and leave nothing left.
Well, for 50 years we have subsidized these developments to make them cheaper. We have been building highways so people can live 40+ miles from work. We have encouraged this type of development through policies that actively encourage this type of development. And let's be honest people, gas is under-priced for the environmental and political damage it causes to our society.
In more ways than one! The pic loading takes forever!
