sure has a lot of curved lines

Big accident according to one school of thought. But curved and offset in housing comes at a big cost, ask any contractor.

This is nothing new, Sterling-Homex did the same thing in Rochester, NY back in the late 60s / early 70s. Of course they went bust in a big scandal.

CORRECTION: Stirling. NOT Sterling. Apparently there is a Sterling Homex company that exists today which is unrelated.

LOL. Thanks for reminding me how smart our President is for thriving in that skunk infested world of big city construction.

Anti-residential regulations and HOAs are a couple of the worst enemies of the people. “Suburban sprawl” isn’t so damaging to the environment. Urban sprawl is: big, dense, artificial concrete, asphalt and chemical footprints on otherwise useful land. Big cities would be more reasonable in the arid, sterile West than in good farm country. Build the big cities in the mountains and deserts. Drill deeper for water. It’s there. Pump it up and treat it, like the harder working people of the lowlands do with muddy rivers.

Hideous but the kids must have a blast playing in those gardens with the dinosaur sculptures. That’s one way to get them outside and off the computer screen.
