Ugh. It's like an entire building made out of vertical blinds.

Looks like a single-wide that moonlights as a wind tunnel. Glad I don't live in the yellow house. It's almost enough to make me rethink my opposition to lawn Nazis (homeowner associations).

That's bullshit? As opposed to what?

That thing is basically a shot gun house without the gable roof.

Did anybody go check out the floor plan? I've seen houses around where I live that don't have that kind of space.

G damn it! The hipsters have even managed to make shipping container homes pretentious and expensive.
