Also a huge number of people in the US travel to places that are walkable:
- Disney World
- Las Vegas (The strip is anyway)
- DC
- NYC
But over here narrow allies or **window views of only your neighbour **are usually found in old villages, where money was tight & a lot of expansion was done over existing buildings.
Yeah hmm normally I’d think the same, but in the video it looked much nicer. It is a concept to increase urban density instead of suburbia. And each apartment has it’s own outer walls instead of merging 4 apartments into one larger building, and then have wider paths. It’s also build stick frame / wood and probably relatively cheaply. I’d love something like this out of stones with more natural walls and rounded corners.
Oh, yes, totally agree - but as I understand this wasn’t cheap to buy. That’s the issue. It’s def totally livable. But as you said, would have expected more, something that can last. Not to mention modern design niceties (not in the beauty sort of sense).
As to why tf suburbia is even a thing, idk (I mean, I know, the car lobby, but still fuuck, all that surface natural habitat lost just for the inconvenience of as inefficient commuting as possible).
Oh, then my bad, this does change a lot how I view the thing - especially the design part. Idk how, but I thought these were sold as fancy.
Hope the rent goes into the community projects & admin to keep it going.
