A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design.

Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too!

We need mods!! Please please help!

A Short Guide

Friends at c/badrealestate!

Here are the rules:

  1. Posts can be about ugly houses in general
  2. Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. -->Tags: "Thursday Design Appreciation" or "HouseTDA", "Just Ugly", "Shitpost", "Certified McMansion™", "Discussion/Debate", and "Interior" are available.
  3. All post subjects must be single family homes -->Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture.
  4. Don't post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. -->Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing.
  5. Direct Images Only, no links please. -->Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such.
  6. No Spam -->No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn't react to it. Please understand that.
  7. No Screenshots -->Crop your photos correctly.
  8. Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

They were so close to making loss

For a second I thought, "is this Loss?"

It wasn't. That would at least have been clever.

This is so bad it looks like an AI generated it.

They must have bought the sampler pack

First house you built in sims 4 before you noticed you can place windows at different heights now

Maybe every window makes sense on the inside

But if they don't make sense on the inside, even funnier!

There must've been a sale on windows.

Also, this gives me Groverhaus vibes.

This raises bigger questions. The driveway is on the inside of the block, facing toward what appears to be absolute chaos, junkyards, and no discernible paths. How did that vehicle get into the driveway? Why is this place such a mess? How do people navigate that with cars?

Could be something like this:

No, cause the house of cursed windows is to the left of that. It’s got the blue truck in the backwards driveway.

It's an in-law suite or granny flat maybe?

Is that perhaps the layout to a super Mario Bros level?
