Next thing you're going to tell me is that Alaska is the easternmost state!

Some of us respect the prime and anti meridians

That addition blends right in.

hahaha, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

That addition blends right in.

reminds me of a house I used to live near:

Attachment 389038

[Ted Striker]

I used to walk or ride by that thing daily. After a while, I stopped doing double takes, but it never got to the point where it looked 'normal'

Lots of Homer's Bubble Car Houses in that hood

Pretty good (i.e., bad) example from my neighborhood. Kind of sad that everyone involved apparently thought this was a good idea.

[Ted Striker]

OMG

Caution: crosswind limit 25 kts

That is so wrong in so many ways.

I'm picturing the meeting with the architect going down like this:

I'm picturing the meeting with the architect going down like this:

That the architect mentally counting the profit after the client says “I drew this in google sketch up and want you to get this through permitting”, right?

[Danno]

what makes you think there was an architect involved?

Kinda hard to squeeze a multi bed single family home with an adu onto a postage stamp and not have it look like shit.

Yup, I have to live in the home of over built lots (city allows a 75% FAR). Every lot is built to the absolute limit. Some look ok if the lot is 5k+ but the smaller lots often look like shit.

[Mazderati]

That seems like so much work to not add a second story.

[Ted Striker]

Yeah, lifting the whole house would've been better, and they would've gained more sq ft.

Lots of lots don't look like much, you're saying?

[VTeton]

We built to the max on our postage stamp but made dam sure it looked nice from the front. Neighbor skipped on his front and looks like a tower.

According to the World Bank, more than 850 million Chinese people have been lifted out of extreme poverty; China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 0.7 percent in 2015, as measured by the percentage of people living in 2011 purchasing price parity terms.

US otoh:

The official US poverty rate in 2020 was 11.4 percent, up 1.0 percentage point from 10.5 percent in 2019. This is the first increase in poverty after five consecutive annual declines

Ever heard of apples and oranges? The world bank defines extreme poverty as less than $1.90 a day. US poverty is less than $35 per day.

I am more shocked at the jacuzzi tub placed between the living/dining rooms, wtf?

[glademaster]

I was in two houses yesterday, both recent remodels, both had bathtubs in the living rooms. Is that a new thing? One of the places also had two bedrooms with tubs in the bedrooms, and yes, they also had an attached bathroom.
