why do shitskins live in teepees, clay huts and shantytowns
Jaxon Taylor
Because they are fat
Jeremiah Russell
Maybe if you make another thread about it, you'll find out. Oh and sage.
Juan Jones
because fuck you you beaner
Jaxson Ross
The same reason yuropoors live in tiny flats
It's what we can afford.
Kevin Mitchell
Damn that looks terrible. Give me the 1000 year old studio flat in the downtown of "le historic city" with muslim neighbors
Josiah Thompson
As shitty mansions go that's actually not bad .
Samuel Cook
Average small business owner here can afford one of these so they get scammed out of their shekels by realtors/builders.
Nicholas Williams
You could have at least used a different image if you were gonna make a new thread. Also, architecture belongs on /his/.
Blake Wood
>mutt houses
top kek
Colton Lee
whats wrong with the 3 car garage op?
that is more than enough
this. you should see what rich coke dealer gippos build here in HUNGary
it is gold plated and looks like a nigger rappers wet dream.
Ethan Lewis
because not everybody has good taste.
this house is neat. they have some good house threads on /diy/ sometimes too
Landon Clark
It's comfy af
Joseph Gomez
>$1.2M
Nah, that's $280k. Tops.
Probably comes on 4 acres of land too.
Jacob Edwards
they don't they live in america
Jackson Baker
>live in McMansions
live is the wrong word
most of these homes are empty all week long, and even on most week ends.
Ethan Bailey
Jason Anderson
probably be close to 800k in my area near dc
Dylan Cruz
Because McMansions are as soulless as most of them are, however they aren't made with the depressing grey concrete of brutalism.
Mason Miller
Americans should live in a place that don't disturb their well being, that is in communion with nature, Americans should live in Usonian houses.
Frank Lloyd Wright, for all of his eccentricities, he was RIGHT.
Joshua White
Here's a proper mansion for comparison
Asher King
They have a big country so land is relatively cheap so they can build large houses.
When i visited America i surprised to see that even Ghetto houses are huge with large gardens. It tricked me at first into thinking everyone was wealthy, but it's because they have so much land.
Also the houses are piss poor quality, practically balsa wood. I dont know why Americans cant use bricks.
Aaron White
yeah no, im not leaving my 100k+ car out in the weather
Bentley Long
craftsman /comfy/
Aaron Gray
>mfw plenty of vacants around my neighborhood that I can pick up for a couple thousand apiece because I live in Appalachia in a city with an awful school district so property is cheap as all get out
I plan to remodel a couple of houses around me as soon as I get a bit more cash. Got a job, just need to save a few thousand. There's a real nice 3-story red brick house a block away that I /think/ is still salvageable, assuming it hasn't been condemned. My ultimate goal is to fix that one up and live in it.
But if I could just pack my shit up and move away, I'd like to live in something like pic related.
James Lewis
Because then developers can't make super cheap house on mass.
Anthony Walker
mcmansionhell.com totally owns rural and suburban retards
William Butler
Nicholas Howard
Sage. Stop attention whoring your threads.
Joshua Gomez
Dominic Parker
Comfy!!!

I don't think it's that the houses are too large (though they often are too large for their lot size), it's more that they're badly designed. You can live in a big, cheap house that doesn't have stupidly placed, mismatched windows everywhere and pointless shit stuck all over it.
Bentley Nguyen
I grew up watching documentaries of american wooden houses being annihilated by tornadoes and just thinking "fucking why"?
Jaxon Scott
I have a house similar to that and I live in Ohio. Only $250k. Never understood cityshits flaunting about how nice it is to live in a big city. You live in a fuckin' turdcloset, and for a chic person you seem okay with roaches. Fucking disgusting.
Aiden Adams
$500,000 in the UK. Meanwhile you better get your home ready for the new Turkish owners that are coming in.
Brayden Miller
neo-futurism style 60's suburban house
Josiah Green
Really nice style.
Brody Mitchell
Cheaper, easier to insulate. Better than that drab shit you guys got.
Robert Jackson
Impossible there's another house not 5 feet away from it on the right.
Liam Ward

Burger butthurt ITT

English architecture is great, it's Scotland that's a depressing hellhole
Asher Perez
Cute house! Love, love, love!
Leo Bell
is that a cuck shed
Tyler Rodriguez
Just different cultures I think. In Japan they build houses to only last about 20 years then they knock them down. Spirits or some such. Here our houses are built to last like 50 to 100 years. You're an older culture so it makes sense that you have 500 year old houses. Pol makes me want a comfy brick or stone house now though.
Owen Barnes
Enjoy the fleas
Xavier Powell
>not wanting to be a slave to 30-year debt futilely trying to maintain a low quality house
what are you, poor?
Mason Myers
I don't understand it, either. Wood is a good building material in the northeast where we have harsh winters, but it's stupid as fuck to use wood as your primary building material down south where you have different environmental concerns.
If you're gonna build a house in tornado alley, it should be tornado proof. If you're gonna build a house on the Florida coast, it should be hurricane proof.
For example, pic related was built in Key West, Florida in 1851, in a French colonial style and made out of limestone. It's known as the Ernest Hemingway house, since Hemingway lived there in the 1930s. It has survived every hurricane that has hit the island for over 150 years.
Chase Hall
contemporary architecture is nice for houses sometimes.
Anthony Torres
They call them "tiny houses" but ya people literally live in those things it's sad. What does Pol think of pic related? We could play legos in real life. The machine costs like $3,500 and you can print your own lego blocks only brick sized.
Cooper Campbell
Not really. Look at the roof. The whole construction is illogical.
Owen Taylor
American houses are really fuckign weird.
No real Basements.
Houses build out of wood.
The rooms are spereated by Drywall.
Houses on little stilts.
Jason Smith
Reinforced concrete works in every region of the world.
Asher Perez
Your houses really don't look like they could last 100 years.
It's not even nice wood, just horrible panelling over plaster.
Jason Sullivan
This looks extremely Norwegian or Danish.
Jonathan Nguyen
oh don't forget the windows. Just single pane and no doal/triple action mechanics
Thomas Robinson
Owen Scott
This, when europoots complain our houses are too big. Forever keks
Easton Russell
Don't worry about it Memeflag, you'll never have one.
Carson Lee
The parts shown is fine. The ones blocked by the trees aren't
Dominic Diaz
>live in NY
>need to save up for years just for down payment
>don't want to buy some shitty poorly put together house
Guess I'm renting my whole life.
Easton Gomez
Austin Ortiz
400k near me, on .75 acre. It isnt even what I would call a large house. Or is that why its a mcmasion, awful aesthetics and fake mini manse?
Nicholas Barnes
Just move to greener and cheaper pastures.
Juan Price
Cameron Peterson
Joseph Morgan
Woah settle down there Eolus
Noah Anderson
nowadays, poured concrete is the only way to go in the SE
Tyler Jackson
Look at the roof in the middle. Why is it higher? What does the house look like on the back side?
Brayden Rodriguez
why do mods allow house threads?
Jackson Clark
Mutts will excuse this sad arrangement because "muh niggers"
Justin Taylor
post war english architecture is a cunt hair above shit soviet architecture and you know it.
Noah Butler
>Not just buying some empty land, a compressed earth block machine, and building your own house that you then showcase as the demo house for your new business in the home building industry building in durable bricks that will shut these Europeans up once and for all
It's like you like listening to people above and below you have sex and flush the toilet.
Adrian Nelson
Because they are sleeping. Mods and shills go to bed at the same time. At night we post anti-burger threads.
Adam Cruz
This house is awesome and is undoubtedly in a white neighborhood
Austin Hall
>buy McMansion
>punch a hole in it
Just one fit of autismo rage and i could literally tear down an entire house in murica, lol. Here, i punch a wall and just hurt myself, then go cry in a corner.
Jose King
That shit roof angle that won't handle a snow load
Liam Cooper
but it's 4 pm here
Connor Smith
No it's not.
Ethan Howard
This house looks like shit though, the mcmansion is infinitely better
Luke Wright
A house like this in Canada would cost like 4 million lol
Brayden Nelson
Any american can redpill me about electrical installations in Burgerland?
Jordan Rivera
tacky.
Angel Roberts
MODDDDDDSSSSSS HELP ME WAHHHHH
Go back to whence you came. I've scanned the thread for over an hour and these architecture threads are the best threads going imo. If politics is downstream from culture then culture is downstream from architecture something the Communists and their brutalism realized decades ago. We're learning a lot about each other by our attitutudes toward the permanence or temporary nature of our buildings. Sorry if you're mad that we're not having the 100th fuck Drumpf Putin BTFO Syria blew blew blew thread there's plenty of other ones you can be in right now.
Here's a nice question I saw in that Mars General why the obsession with domes? Why don't we ever build with domes on Earth but they assume everything will be a dome on Mars? Wouldn't a dome be more material efficient? Are builders just lazy jews?
Adrian Hill
Every single one of these complaints are bullshit
Easton Collins
This we should have another e celeb or mutt thread instead
Gabriel Harris
I can sympathize with people who live in traditional cottage homes and don't want huge places but that is literally a fucking cuck shed, that does not classify as a house, and it's sure as fuck not traditional.
Juan Cox
Then 2 posts down is almost the exact same house with a giant driveway but it's good now because it's in Europe somewhere.
Nolan Bailey
This is the shit that gets me. I couldn't justify spending several hundred thousand on a house built with fucking plaster and plywood. Maybe if the house was 30k and in the ghetto, but not in a gated community.
The designers put these tall arches and multiple car garages in the front to make the houses look more impressive than they actually are. It's all a facade. I'd rather have something understated, sturdy, and aesthetic.
Justin Hill
If you're printing your own blocks you can build whatever you want. It's like minecraft imagine what some autistic anons couild build in their free time.
Ian Sanders
>Why do Americans live in McMansions?
Because they're too stupid to build a fallout shelter with their disposable income instead.
Andrew Fisher
Looks like it's built of aluminum or some kind of metal, so the snow should slide off at that angle once it gets heavy. Or at least I would think, idk I don't live there.
Evan Morris
Fuck buying a house if I was rich I would build my own mansion 1 brick at a time. Building your own home is the whitest thing a man can do. Prove me wrong Pol.
Oliver Peterson
Dis.
Liam Richardson
He was right, but those are basically impossible to afford for any normal person anymore. I'd love it if people would start building affordable houses in that style again though.
Leo Murphy
Americans? No, you mean suburban old-money American white liberals and wealthy American rappers.
Ryan Hernandez
Yeah, I bet these houses, the wooden ones go for about a grand or so, specially because of the author tax.
