“Which is why housing is squished together”
Housing is squished together to get more units per land area.
Besides, most people don’t want a lawn to maintain. The kids play in the bonus room and they watch movies in the media room.
If you go to the dealer and pay a premium.
Mid line belt line.
Windows are not undersized.
Wheels are not clownish.
Flat hood and flat grill.
A beauty.
You missed the point. Lots are smaller for only one reason: to offset the cost of government tax and regulation in the planning and buidling of housing developments. In states with property taxes, the state and counties will try to maximize their tax revenue, too, by increasing the units in apts. or homes. If the government reverted back to 1920’s control of producers, our world would once again be populated with variety and color.
Nicer:
It’s nice but it is trying to hard. It is not elegant and a tad bloated.
“You missed the point. Lots are smaller for only one reason: to offset the cost of government tax and regulation in the planning and buidling of housing developments. “
You would be surprised at how many request only a minimal yard for their house. Just big enough for the dog to go poop in.
” It is not elegant “
It is not meant to be elegant. Neither was the Z28.
OTOH, I am equipped with a list of options that were not even available in any car in the 1960’s.
“our world would once again be populated with variety and color.”
Our neighborhood used to have different colored houses. Yellows, greens, pinks.
Now we have different shades of brown and grey.
Pretty soon tex you'll be talking up driverless cars and how perfect they are.
Remember what started this conversation? You're butt hurt because I called these new vehicles that look like shoes, "Plastic encased computers on wheels".
Guess what? They're here in a big way. Eventually an Apple computer car, or maybe a Toshiba, will be driving you to McWhopper tex. You can sit in back and wave to people. How cool is that?
“ since they don’t want you touching anything with the motor anyway, doing so might be illegal, so they have little need for aftermarket parts.”
LOL. I can get after-market tunes, cams, manifolds and more and they are 50 state legal.
Many even have warranties.
Forgot to mention a 670 up supercharger with a three year full drivetrain warranty.
Is that what they do to these soccer mom vehicles shaped like shoes? Really? Try reading the words, I said, “little need”.
” I said, “little need”.”
Correct. When the family SUV has the performance of yesterday’s muscle cars, there is little need for performance mods.
“You’ll love it tex when you’re ridding around by your computerized Apple car...On the way to the hearing aid store, you can sit in back seat and wave at all the people.... “
You joke but it will be great to still be independent even after I can no longer drive.
And you can thank all these plastic encased computers with wheels!
