    so checkmate

    all cheeky bullshit aside, i don't disagree with anything you said and have admitted my shit is skewed bc of stupid 80s movies. i also don't rly enjoy the big sprawling duplex look you'll find plaguing the surrounding areas of big cities - i enjoy a more rural aesthetic. the 1st and 3rd pic you posted look entirely fine to me

    Lithuania (built when part of USSR), and Vienna fwiw

    what cities have big sprawling duplexes though? i guess best examples would be brownstone style aesthetics? most people love those

    UK has a ton of them in the commuter towns, they’re called “semi detached” houses here.

    Idk tbh - there prob aren’t any beyond the made up cities floating around in my head. I know some parts of The outer Charlotte area annoy me bc it’s just ugly apartments and warehouses every 10ft. North downtown Charleston is also similar to that, but my gripe is prob with dilapidated buildings and not multi unit housing

    Cuts the separation between houses in half, for one. Can presumably build them twice as quickly.

    Will this make the overall price of housing go down but the price of single family detached rise? That’s what I’ll be buying in CA in a few years.

    Sometimes the French flip out that the UK and the US are too closely aligned or whatever. But the very idea of being our closest ally disgusts them. It is pretty funny.

    After WW2, Truman and US wanted to support decolonization and Charles De Gaulle said he would align France with the Soviet Union if we did any such thing. Wonder how that worked out for France.

    I mentioned we are in the process of buying a house in Berkeley CA but didn’t mention it’s because our current landlord has plans to tear down the bungalow we currently rent to build two patio homes. In speaking to him, he expects to get around $1M for each. I imagine this news speeds up his timeline.

    My bigger concern is homeowners in desirable areas of CA are just going to build ADUs and use them as additional square footage or rent them out as airBnBs. Honestly, I’d consider doing it myself.

    This follows a week of various European ambassadors to the US criticising the US. Not great.

    I guess we also know why the U.K. have been so muted the last weeks.

    You’re no worse off under the first scenario and you’re creating downward forces on AirBnB prices in the second, so what’s the problem?
