Apparently not outraged enough to buy the property themselves so they could decide what goes there.

Ew. I get wanting modern interiors, but why are the outsides so hideous?

I suspect a developer offered them more money than they could get listing. The developer is going to make a fortune by subdividing the lots. They know that a SFH, no matter how narrow, is a much easier sell than a duplex, so they built these


I doubt it. People move to cc when they have kids and want good schools. Those triples are a terrible setup for a family, and there is very little yard. Everything about it is kid unfriendly. So who is your market? Dinks would rather live closer in for walkability. This was a mistake. It will have to be discounted substantially to move. But we’ll see I guess.


There's a house nearby on Nevada that is kind of the same situation: They tore down an older house and built an unpractical, modern-style house that has taken forever to sell, like more than a year with a number of price drops. It finally went contingent last week.

They are very ugly. Maybe it’s legal to build these, not sure.
