Cheap looking UGLY housing, no matter how you look at it.
At your Town Center. Along Ramsey Blvd., between the new light at Hwy. 116, and the new light at Sunwood.
These shared-wall homes assault your sensibilities and gut feelings for good design.
They run north of the PACT school, you cross 116, and another cluster of different looking cheap-appearing shared-wall housing takes over. This is the new Ramsey. Somebody's dream. My view of a nightmare.
The first views are from the west looking east from Rhinestone [an appropriate name, a rhinestone is a fake diamond]. Some look from Ramsey westward. Finally some of the project architects taking credit, etc. showing a unity of theme and design.
Even using the Microsoft picture manager to "doctor" the pictures gives no help. However you slice and dice it, Emerald City from Oz, Masque of the Red Death, it comes out only one way. Shabby and ugly. Ugly.
Is anybody buying this stuff?
How can it sell, even in a hot market? Building it is one thing, selling it is not child's play.
