Horror Show Friday
We were going to pull together three different places to feature in this edition of Horror Show Friday but this place seemed to be able to stand on its own. Fittingly, the broker manages to reach new depths of illiteracy as well. $529000 Amazing luxury 2 family [Craigslist]

Affordable housing means being able to afford!!! If I have to pay that much, I do care about the exterior as well as interior. Aside from it looking like a large garage, Asking $500K for this is ridiculous.
for the love of all things holy, please PLEASE do not call that affordable. it is without a doubt no WAY an “affordable” home. that being said i see nothing aesthetically or architectually wrong with it really. but i can understand how people would, especially on a site like this that i guess for the most part appreciates a different kind of aesthetic. werent brownstoners in the middle of the last century considered to look like big old steaming piles of poop too? tastes change, people change, culture changes, building materials change, color changes. at the end of the day once the poo mist has settled in, these will look just fine and contextual to their surroundings.

It honestly looks okay to me. Could be a lot worse. Although it might be better if they finished stuccoing the front…
However, this house is plain enough that you could pretty much finish it however you wanted.
LMAO on Couple, good pick. I can only image the remarks that will come with buying this THING, just glad I won’t be the buyer.
BrookLynn, you are preaching to the choir. I’m awaiting the inevitable cries of “elitism” and “you don’t support affordable housing”, which always come with these threads. It is not elitest to insist that necessary new construction in our communities meet some kind of requirement of taste and quality. We deserve better.
I will state again for the record – affordable housing does not have to be non-contextural or fugly. This is both.

BrookLynn816…you’re right. The inside isn’t that bad at all. Not my idea of luxury. But what do I know? I’m a homeowner who’e got a sad, joyless life. ANd the Whuh thinks I need a bailout.
Detroit residential architecture is nice. This should have never been built… This should have been the house that went up in flames instead of Green Ave house.
I was wrong. I just found the actual proud owners.

I clicked on the listing and it’s comical. The bathroom pic at the bottom takes the cake…
They’ve been trying to sell this thing for a while. Although the inside looks nice and new, projects like this do not fit and mess of the brownstone blocks “Which house does not fit” Not a fan of new construction.
