What's really sad are the translations into English. I'm sure the builders wanted to create a charming Southwestern vibe by giving their subdivision a Spanish-sounding name. After all, much of Southwest was once Spain's territory. But seems like the builders don't speak a lick of Spanish! Because if you translate the names, here's what you get.

1. El Tesoro de Basura - The Treasure of Garbage (I can see this having some niche appeal, but it wouldn't be mainstream.)

2. Vistas de las Tetas - View of the Breasts (Men will like this one, I'm sure.)

3. Plaza Perro Enfermo - Sick Dog Plaza (It might appeal to some very staunch dog haters, but no one else.)

4. Sierra del Pezón - Mountains [range] of the Nipple (Men will like this one, possibly less so than #2.)

LMAO! There's an apartment complex named "Camino Del Sol" really close to where I live.

I bet there's high demand for "Vistas de las Tetas"

Is there one named "Los Cojones"?
