There’s no place like home
“Darn, I left my phone on the first floor.”
My housing tastes must be very middle class.
I sort of like that design. It looks like a Home, vs just a place to sleep and make meals.
I like the front porch ready to use if you want some fresh air. There is probably a back door too.
The Tall Tiny house is very creative, but would only work if you are in good physical condition, okay with climbing staircase after staircase.
A vertical shotgun home.
Do they have an elevator?
If you've been to Seoul, there are plenty of hills. They are probably in shape to handle the stairs. :)
Guy in two seater gets up and hitches up his pants and 2 quarters, a dime, 3 nickels and 6 pennies roll out of his pocket, into oblivium.
He cusses, and tosses a fiver down the chute.
“You crazy?” asked his ‘partner’
“NO! You don’t expect me to go down there for 81 cents do you?”
You know, CA and NYC for example can easily eradicate the homeless population by building dorm-room skyscrapers.
I lived in a few shotgun houses when I lived in New Orleans. I really liked the 12-foot ceilings and transoms over the doors.

Do they have earthquakes there? That would be fun.
