Kensingtonian February 5th, 2009, 12:55 AM ^^ nice, reminds me of my time in vancouver. i remember shaunessy having some pretty interesting houses. and that yaletown photo looks so different from what i remember.
gabrielbabb February 6th, 2009, 02:35 AM Is the rich having low rise housing especially pronounced in Mexico city? Are there many ultra expensive high rise apartments? The new mansion looks pretty tall in a way.
Normally rich people in Mexico live in big houses, the most expensive apartment i've seen is of US$2,000,000 in Insurgentes avenue but it's the only one i've cheked, there are other areas in the highrise suburbs that have many other expensive apartments, many people in Mexico City live in apartments in Mexico City but the buildings are normally of 3 - 10 floors and that's why they don't form a big skyline...

Great idea: to show the reasidential streets where you live. I'll do the same.
This is my street, as seen from across a section of Lincoln Park. I live in one of the older buildings shown here. The pictures are arranged from South going North.
Pictures are taken from the Artefaqs photostream in flickr, BTW:

Baguio City was established by Americans in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. Baguio City was designated by the Philippine Commission
as the Summer Capital of the Philippines on June 1, 1903 and incorporated as a city by the Philippine Assembly on September 1, 1909.
There is a presidential mansion, as well as supreme court and legislative offices in Baguio. Baguio is the seat of government of the Cordillera Administrative Region.
The name of the city is derived from the word bagiw in Ibaloi, the indigenous language of the Benguet Region, meaning 'moss'.
The city is at an altitude of approximately 1500 meters (5100 ft) in a moist tropical pine forest
conducive to the growth of mossy plants and orchids.

Baguio Earthquake
Looking back, it was exactly 4:26 p.m. on Monday, 16 July 1990, that a killer earthquake unexpectedly hit and extensively devastated
the City of Baguio. As reported, the powerful temblor measured 7.7 in the open-ended Richter scale and lasted for 45 seconds.
It was said to be the most destructive earthquakeon record within the Cordillera Region.
There were numerous aftershocks that followed and the strongest, which occured at 3:15 a.m. of July 18, lasted for eight seconds...
and measured 5.3 on the Richer scale.
The five-star Hyatt Terraces Plaza sustained the worst damage when its terraced front collapsed onto the lobby area,
killing about 50 people. The Baguio Park Hotel along Harrison Road was a total wreck.
The luxurious Nevada Hotel which is located right across from the main gate of Camp John Hay was ripped in half by the quake,
leaving a huge gash in the middle of the structure.
The Saint Vincent Catholic Church along Naguilian Road was spared by the strong quake,
however a portion of its retaining wall and parking area was damaged and collapsed to the road below.
The church, which has withstood typhoons, bombings during the 2nd World War,
and other disasters, suffered only minor damage.

The Philippine Military Academy at Fort Del Pilar was also one of the worst hit portions in the city.
The parade ground mushroomed into a tent city where cadets pitched tents after their barracks was destroyed.
There were many other buildings and familiar landmarks of Baguio which were damaged and classified as hazards.
These included the Skyworld Condominium and Commercial Center along Session Road,
The Royal Inn at Magsaysay Avenue, and the controversial Baguio Hilltop Hotel which was constructed on a hill behind the Baguio Public Market.
Because of the extensive devastation, Baguio City was described to be a virtual "war zone."
Also, it was running low on water, fuel, food, and other miscellaneous basic
necessities to include much-needed medicines for the injured and sick people.

Due to its limited length the runway is restricted to commuter size aircraft. The airport is used primarily by helicopters, turbo-prop and piston
engine aircraft, although on rare occasion light business jets (LBJ) have flown into the airport.

The city of is known for its comparatively mild climate. It is because of this that Baguio is nicknamed the "Summer Capital of the Philippines".
Owing to its high elevation and altitude, temperatures in the city are much lower than the norm for most of the country.
During the year-end holiday months, temperatures regularly average from 13.8 to 23.3 degrees Celsius.
The lowest ever recorded temperature was 6.3 degrees Celsius on January 18, 1961.
This is in contrast to the all-time high of 30.4 degrees Celsius
recorded on March 15, 1988 during the 1988 El Nino season.

most residental neighorhoods look like this, with this sort of housing. Poorer neighorhoods tend to have nice sized houses and are similar to those in middle class neighorhoods--

Anyway...average pic of a residential street in Hartford. The majority of streets have a mix of building styles. Brick and wood mostly. There are streets with 6-family brick apartments next to single family detached houses.

Sure, why not? They're old but well built and sturdy.

Are you serious?! :lol: You can get a Texas-sized home with that amount.
_00_deathscar April 12th, 2009, 07:02 AM Aye, same shit happens here.
Almost all private 400 sq ft flats sell for US$150,000+. Carpeted area is probably less than 300 sq ft.
A private 900 sq ft flat in a decent neighbourhood could cost around US$500,000. Carpeted or actual area is probably around 650-700 sq ft. You can get a very nice mansion in Bloomfield, Detroit for that price.
Mollywood April 14th, 2009, 07:13 PM In Detroit, there are so many abandoned homes, the city is practically giving them away. Actually, in many of America's less successful cities, you can get homes for really cheap. (even the south side of Chicago) The problem is when you want to move and can't sell the house.
