My new housing plan is called Dungeons and Dragons with a Vampire Ambiance. I understand the benefit of homes stacked six high but I also miss the beautiful old homes as they’re mowed down to be replace with high rises.
Solution: put the six stores down instead of up, and underneath the existing old neighborhood homes. A hard working man could come home to a nice cozy neighborhood home and still not have to cut the grass. Many of my friends never open their drapes anyway and prefer the dark to accent their video games and vampire literature.
A few years ago I drew a picture of homes going down into the ground instead of up into the sky; soon after it was finished I discovered a picture in a library book of two business buildings in Paris flush with the ground and descending three stores. From the sidewalk passers by see a few scattered trees in a very large flat, almost bare, grassy park. The interior square hole formed by the sides of the building is scattered with windows and I always wonder if the maintenance people turned on a strong pump when it rains.

I’m already designing a giant aquarium formed in a similar way. WOW; people would really argue over who’d get a window office then!nancymauerman.com
