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.
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
I figure it’s a combination of three things; the level of aerodynamic engineering the industry has achieved, lowest common denominator design to appeal to the largest possible group, and a demand for storage space.
I completely agree with you, and I also noticed cars gradually losing personality around the turn of the century, but the most egg shaped car of all happens to be the one I love the most: the VW bug. I had one ~20 years ago, yellow even, and I still miss it.
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.
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
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.

I think the main problem is that anyone with enough money to buy a new car is so old they can’t get in and out of something sporty.
That or kids/car seats.
I’m not that old yet, and no kids, so give me my tiny sporty coupes that are easier to park.

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.
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?

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.
The trees behind it helps it look better. This one has more potential than most new builds I see with the roofs almost touching.
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.

just needs like a doghouse or two on the upstairs to the front and it would look wayyyyu better
