What are we doing? July 3, 2010 – 7:45 am
I wish I could live in the third one from the left……..You know, the one with the red door. With a red door I could be “different” and express my “individual character”. Nothing is more depressing then seeing suburbia from the sky. At least everyone has a garage and a big back yard………that’s a good thing right? Why does the “Ottawa Urban Infill Guidelines” promote front porches to animate the street, discourage large garage doors, express the need for a dominate front door, encourage sustainable elements, require landscaped front yards, will not allow front yard parking and goes through great lengths to promote interesting concepts in housing while allowing this to be built over and over? Why can’t there be a Suburban Design Guidelines?
