I can only assume that by “dream collection” they are talking about the act of collecting your hopes and dreams to smash them up and turn them into shareholder value
anything but just building fucking row-housing evidently
I like how this looks like commieblocks but worse, and isn’t free for the public and wastes 1000000000000x more space
calling it dream collection because it looks like shit i see when i’m trying to get home in a night terror
a tiny house with the aesthetic of a McMansion. incredible stuff
I’m tempted to call them happy meal houses but nothing about this makes me happy
the world really is turning into Minecraft, most glaringly with our architecture
The American Dream is to draw a line in the dirt and glare at your neighbors from behind it.
Lots of wasted space here, I bet you could have minimized on cost and maximized on ROI by just building a couple of multifamily buildings instead. I would have thought there might be zoning issues causing these structures to be built, but after a few minutes of research, that area has “no zoning” and thus has no specific regulations it needs to abide by. What a weird “choice” to make here. You have to sell the American Fantasy of “homeownership” at any cost, right?
Trying to sell people this:
when it’s actually this:
I just want to say I appreciate the effor that went into the photoshop here for a one off
haha thanks, I needed to kill time at work today.
Don’t understand why it seems like american developers don’t want to build rowhousing
uh I thought communism was when grey monotonous constricting living quarters what gives

Why are there so few windows and why are they so small? It wouldn’t be terrible housing if there was greenery, few cafes and shops around and the whole thing was more lively but that won’t fly with American zoning laws.
Whoever build these has never seen a house. These are the equivalent of that lion in Sweden made by the guy whose never seen a lion.
What if we built combloc sadness housing, but we spread all the blocks around like Legos on the floors of god’s living room so they had none of the advantages of apartment blocks and also made them cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and also isolated them in the burbs.
they look like two story shotgun houses.
amazing how far we’ve come to build less sturdy versions of substandard worker housing from the Deep South 100-150 years ago.
reminds of the ironic brag “We are tomorrow’s people.”
Watching the shotgun house get gentrified right in front of me, in my own city, has been crazy to watch. Ridiculous what people will pay for
Tbf “nightmare” is also a type of dream.
In a vague way it reminds of the ticky-tacky houses in the song Little Boxes
A huge difference is that the ticky-tacky houses were bland and generic but nice. Those depressing gray houses look like they belong in Japanese internment camp - to steal a joke from this thread.
This the kinda housing you see in a movie, taking place in the USSR, that was critiqued as being “too on the nose” anti-commie propaganda during the red scare
Don’t think that lands. The common critcism is people being packed into apartment complexes “like sardines” which obviously doesn’t apply for this, the mistreated goldfish equivalent of housing
The american mind cannot comprehend apartment housing
communist sardine tin can packaging vs. glorious individualist 8 gold fish bowls next to each other
With my god-given 2 square yards of monocultural lawn
christ this is bleak. you bulldozed the thornscrub for this? couldn’t even make them singlestory?
