I gotta say that is one depressing looking house. It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round. And it’s just so grey and featureless.
it’s got that mcmansion roofline without the size. it’s just a sucky house in a shitty suburban hell. I bet the owner can’t even legally use all the land they bought to make a vegetable garden
It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round.
My dream house is 80% garage/workshop.
But yeah, this one looks strange. I think because the garage juts out forward.
I think its because theres no side fences or landscaping. Its a house in a field.

It does, but I think theres nothing “wrong” with the house, the garage just looks so prominent because theres literally nothing else going on.
The whole scene looks unfinished.
Do not underestimate how nice your house can be inside when you have adequate storage space for things you dont want on display. Does need some landscaping though.
All the new houses going up around me look like that. Except for the ones that take up almost the entire lot so they can cram a 4,000sq ft house on a quarter acre.
Everything today is starting to suck because they’re all min/maxing. Cars are all egg shaped SUVs or boxy trucks. Movies are all reboots, sequels, prequels, or live-action remakes. TV shows are epic fantasies or raunchy animated comedies or dark supernatural dramas. Because that’s what all the metrics say will provide the best ROI.
I wish this Gilded Age were half as original as the last one.
Thank you for also noticing the shitty shape of cars. I guess there’s a demand there, but I hate it too. I constantly bring this up, so I’m happy someone else agrees lol
All. The. Cars. Look. The. Same. It. Is. Like. The. 1940s. Right. Now.
I’d love to see some sarcastic/ironic eye candy on this figurative and literal highway to hell.
They ought to be glad that their car is letting them stay with it.
just needs like a doghouse or two on the upstairs to the front and it would look wayyyyu better
I also dislike this look.
My garage is back behind my house on the alley as it should be. What lunatic ever thought moving the carriage house to the front was a good idea?
Also…this is a plastic box. Why do people want to live in plastic boxes?
This actually looks kind of quaint to me. Now the house would be on top of the garage and there would be six of them and the trees would be gone. I’d feel like a prince of the world if I had a 3% mortgage on this.
obvious satire is obvious
It’s 100% a satire page.
The problem is WE CAN’T TELL.
Is that Poe’s law in effect?
Lol I can tell because of the name and the stock photo pfp
You’re probably not familiar enough with the office workplace then. This is like every joke rolled into one.
The amount of people who can’t realize this is satire from the (Let’s hop into a 5 min call) alone is insane. Like bruh I’m literally autistic and have trouble with telling when things are a joke and even I realized.
My mortgage company emails and texts me at least 3 times a day asking me to refinancey mortgage or sell me house. I moved in last year lol. I’m not leaving
I text the home buyers back and ask for $400,000 cash or no deal. For some reason their enthusiasm drops right after, but they still keep texting me.
Lol $400k where I live won’t buy you anything.
I really understand the advantages of having a single story house but why does it seem so uncommon to see two story houses in the US/Canada?
Is it uncommon? I feel like I see them all the time.
We just have a lot of houses, and a lot of space which makes it so you can feasibly have a generously sized single story house.
There’s also a trend towards making the basement comfortably livable in a lot of areas.
I can only speak of the pictures I often see in media and what I see on television programs, where the typical north american house is single story.
Interesting. Living here, it’s not uncommon at all for houses to be multistory.
Ranches were popular in the 80s and 90s when US boomers were buying “forever homes”.
For everywhere and everyone else, the foundation and roof are the most expensive part of the building so it makes the most sense to double or triple your square footage between those by building 2 or 3 stories.
Stairs are for healthy people.
That is not a lie and I am very much aware of that reality, as a member of my household is in serious risk to lose mobility due to health issues. Yet, vertical space is always a good thing to have.
Why? It’s cheaper at the front end but a pain in the ass the whole time. It’s much better and convenient to have a bungalow.
What? If you don’t have mobility issues why wouldn’t you want a multi story house? There’s more space that way.
Convenience. Have you ever moved mattresses and couches up a flight of stairs?
Yep I have. Mattresses are easy it’s the sofas that cause issues.
population density is much lower, so land is much cheaper, and multi story houses are harder to build.
so you just use more land for your house.
Also extreme weather is more common in the US. single story houses are more susceptible to this
We’re not exactly packed like sardines where I live but building up, unless health issues are a concern, is always the first thing considered, exactly to save clear ground area for other uses, regardless if building on 100m2 or 10 hectares.
Where are you looking? This very well is likely regional. I grew up in the Midwest and every house in my neighborhood had at least two floors, usually more like 3 (ground floor, finished basement, 2nd story).
Communities built for older people often only have one floor due to mobility issues and parts of the country (most of the south) do not have basements. If you’re relying on film/television then it’s likely they’re not filming in the parts where basements are common.
I find burning piles of $100s to be far more motivating.

Wait till interest hits the high numbers. This will motivate your tenants to work extra hard for rent and make them richer in the long run.
Get another debt. It will motivate you!
