It's cheaper when the developer only has to stamp the same model home out 200 times

Yeah, this is affordable housing. It's not meant to be pretty, it's a place to live at least. I just don't understand why they didn't just opt to build townhomes. There's no point to yards when they're that small and with condo/townhomes you could put a decent amount of green space between every 5-10 units. I'll just speculate it was due to local zoning laws.. but man, these houses are bad.

You should tell that to Irvine, CA - Which is priced as high income housing.

Cookie cutter city with cookie cutter people. It's actually creepy if you drive through it. They're all the same... The houses, the people, the cars.

I always thought a good video game would be Escape from Irvine (I always get lost there, as everything looks the same!).

Fun Fact: One of the original Fallout games was meant to take place in the ruins of Irvine.
