Trees are a luxury, growing something like that takes time. I hope they really have a good reason for doing what they did.

It legit looks like half of the weed dispensaries in my city. Who tf would actually do that to their home tho

Just steal the image and put the source in the body text. That way you're not redirecting everyone to reddit. Sort of defeats the purpose of the protests.

Why don't they like trees?

It's like they heard lawns were bad for the environment, but stopped listening at the part about replacing it with native plants.

🎵 They paved paradise and put up a parking lot 🎵

all better

I would have left the trees alone, but removed the grass and covered it with small black and grey stones. That way the trees would still look nice, and the rain water can still pass through the rocks and prevent flooding, unlike this mess. This looks like a business now, it’s not a home anymore.

Sure they didn't turn it into a shop? Those definitely look like they were made into display windows

I personally don't like it, but I respect their right to do whatever the fuck they want with their property. If they want a fugly house, then that's their right.

The guy that owns this house

Maybe the new owners are allergic to nature? 🙃

Just before the previous owners of my house decided to put the house on the market they painted all wood inside (stairs, doors, door frames, window frames, skirting) pitch black.

Yes thanks, I enjoy living in a cave. Removing, sanding and painting all that will take me 100s of hours.

Oh, and it was done with the cheapest paint possible while painting over all hinges, locks and sometimes windows.

Range Rover... checks out.

People are focusing on the house in the middle, but if you look at he whole picture, it isn't that one house. It's every single house on both streets. It's not just this specific owner. If this were the US, I'd suspect a HOA at work.

now its a gulag

Shitty taste for shitty people 🤷‍♀️

Ah yes, the prison yard aesthetic... ~~lookin' good~~

Looks like it ruined the whole area by the looks of it.

Never understood homes that pave/block out all the greenery; makes the home depressing af all for saving some 30min of upkeep per week.

Wow this is fucking incredibly annoying :(

Dendrophobia? Agrostophobia? Botanophobia? All 3 wrapped into one tangle of neurosis?

I just felt bad about what I did to my world in factorio for the first time ever :/

That's an architect's house right there. Guaranteed. Stark feel, contrasting colors, even geometric lines, minimal but very intentional organic elements ("plants" in the windows - probably fake). I'm in the business and have worked on architect's houses. They are generally split 80/20 between ridiculous modern art and warm, inviting, immensely functional spaces. There is no in between.

Maybe they plan to park cars there.

Or maybe they just don't like cutting the grass. Can't blame them. I hate having to cut the grass all the time.

I mean I hate lawns as much as the next person, but I don't think the solution is to salt the earth and cover it in concrete.

I found a real estate listing for the house (yes, you could own this beauty), but I don't know if posting it would count as doxxing per community rules, so I won't. In any case, this is not a business.

They want £300k+. Based on what was written, the whole idea was minimal maintenance and maximum room for parking. The back yard/back "garden" is the same as the front: just a bunch of tile. The interior is less offensive, but just what you'd expect: very modern, lots of black and white and bold shapes.
