Just look at that! Another gray, bleak row of unimaginative boxes marring the landscape. Must affordable housing look so prison-like? And is there even a single nod toward green technology? Any solar panels on those rooftops? So depressing.
Not affordable housing. From the article, “Renters will pay the market rate for these units, none of which are income-restricted.”
Bleak typically correlates with affordability. Beautiful design correlates to correspondingly higher prices. At least the rendering shows sidewalk and street trees; hopefully the tree selection would not be Bradford Pear but something appropriate for the environment. Bear in mind this is Indiana, a state not known for cutting edge design. Indiana is characterized by low-budget tawdry second-rate aspects — wood poles for overhead utilities, span wires across intersection for signals rather than steel masts and arms, few planted and landscaped boulevards in cities, generally unattractive if not downright ugly roadways. Even in a state dedicated to cars, the freeway interchange design is poor — not fully direction interchanges, slow speed and dangerous loop ramps — ugh, a state far behind many others. But, it’s affordable.
Yet you choose to call it home for some reason.
Wow. There are 49 others states and 184 other countries if things are so bleak in Indiana. Vote with your feet.
