I know that this live was gone, but can we do better our future ?
From now on we, the people
of Seattle will enjoy the privilege of “affordable living”.
That means, if we don’t
like our old house, or just moved in town we have a new option. But if we have
a limited budget, we will find out that things may have changed lately…
We see strange
structures growing in our beautiful city, some like odd monstrous boxes or
shipping containers, pushed so tight together like they are thrown in a graveyard,
with windows opened to a view of into the
neighbor’s living room and poor sound
treatment, which allows not only to see, but hear them as well…
Those newly growing mega
condominiums boast 200-300 units at a time..
And one more thing, the sizes of the “homes”
probably is around 500- 800 sq. feet. Right, the new owners don’t need big
bedrooms, because they only sleep for 7-8 hours. The smaller the windows the
better, lower heating bill! Then, less and smaller furniture is cheaper, our
clothes and shoes can be shoved under the bed out of sight… so we can actually walk
around the bed..
Who needs of big sofas
and armchairs in the leaving room? It’s better to go out with friends to get
some fresh air, go biking, shopping, or visit relatives and friends, who were
lucky to buy houses before the “affordable
living “era?
We also wouldn’t need big kitchen; Seattle is saturated
with cafes and restaurants, and fancy organic food stores.
I’ve seen slogans “Do not sale your home to developers”, then
see them gone soon after that to open place for one of those monstrosities
Last and not least – the
colors of the buildings! I am wondering are their architects depressed, or they
just hate us,! Or may be the dark gray and black paints are cheaper?
Why are there so many
dark walls on our streets? In the entire world new and old buildings are
colored in fresh, light tones that make us happy. How is it possible to paint a
6 story building in dark gray, dark blue and beige all together? On top of the “prison size” windows…
We leave in Seattle with
260 cloudy days and no negative temperatures, what is the reason for these tiny
holes?
Did I forget to mention
your guests probably need a GPS to find your unit in the condominium complex? Don’t even want to think of what may happen in
case of fire?
Could you please clarify
to us, what are you trying to do with our beautiful city, my dear very respectable
developers and builders of Seattle?
Sunny day in Ballard, Seattle
Aren't this houses to similar of the containers in the port?
Do you like to live in this affordable houses in Seattle, Ballard?
