But if you were allowed to/worked out a deal to paint those side walls, that could be a really cool looking space.

I’m guessing not especially quiet though.

Depending on its orientation, it’s probably pretty dark inside too.

I remember some of my favourite spaces in the city I lived in where narrow valleys between buildings like this. The trick for light (enough for a great garden) was to hang cheap mirrors on the top part of each side wall.

Reminds me of the Edith Macefield house, in Ballard (Seattle, WA).

.

If you’re ever in Ballard, I highly recommend the excellent cocktail bar Hazelwood, which pays tribute to her with a namesake cocktail (the Edith Macefield).

I think if the house was first then that’d be sad, yes. But if someone bought the lot and managed to get a house in there legally (or just got away with it) then that’s pretty rad. Like a brilliantly yellow dandelion forcing itself through a crack in an otherwise seamless, lifeless and bland sidewalk.

I think the house being there first is the more likely scenario. I like your optimism though!

I don’t know if that is the most likely scenario, I think those building on ether side would have side windows if that was the case. I think you only build walls like this if you are right up to the next building.

Terrible Estate Agent Photos

!badrealestate@feddit.uk

Create post

Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

Posting guidelines.

Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:

  • the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)

  • the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)

  • the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)

  • the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.

  • Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.

  • Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.

  • Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

Rules.

This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  • Be civil, remember the human.
  • No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
  • Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  • Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  • Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  • Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  • No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
