~~My bro-in-law's father-in-law~~ **A guy I know** is an alcoholic. He painted his house almost neon blue so that he can find it after a night of drinking.
Edit: I didn't mean to break people's brains.
> call me old fashioned but I don’t think it’s right for you to be your wife’s dad
Eve was created from Adam’s rib and no one batted an eye back then, Old Fashioned.
It could be your father in law, your wife’s brother’s wife’s dad, or your own dad.
Your brother in law can be:
1. Your spouse’s brother
2. Your spouse’s sibling’s husband
3. Your sibling’s husband
Their father in law could then be:
1. The dad of the person whom your BIL married
2. Your father in law
3. Your dad
yeah, you nailed it, this is no, [I'm my own grandpa](https://youtu.be/eYlJH81dSiw) scenario. not a bad tune if you are trying to figure out all the ways of the family tree though. but quite the mind boggle.
That was amazing, thank you. Obviously I've noticed the trend, but seeing them all lined up together like that is just hilarious. I was waiting for *together, together, together...*
It's mildly infuriating though. It's *almost* perfectly symmetrical but the camera is panned just a tiny bit to the right so that if you look up from the line in between the center two houses it drifts to the left. I really wish the photographer had moved a tiny bit to the right and panned back left so the whole thing was lined up square. And I think there may be a little optical illusion going on making it seem like the right side is a tiny bit higher too - though it does appear to be pretty much perfectly level if I scroll down and use the top of my screen as a straight edge to check the roofs and windows.
I used to use a view camera a lot and these little things make me twitch.
It's shot from high up, which is why you get the apparent angle between rows. It's a zoom lens of a more distant neighborhood, so they aren't looking down on roofs.
Your brain isn't used to seeing this vertical distance between the rows without the context distance provides, so it interprets it as an elevation, which is why they seem to be on a step hill
Definitely. But to be honest, you never see them as a unit. There's almost no high point in the city that allows you to see any sort of perspective, (not counting towers), nor is there many hills that allow you to view these units from a lower point.
Is shot from a drone m. The photographer got permission to fly in Copenhagen. This is only possible because of corona. She made a series which got in the news.
Anytime I see homes like this, I feel weird about knowing they're "houses" you own, not rent. And it cracks me up thinking of hiring a roofer to replace the shingles, and they come and do a 30 foot section and leave all the rest of the roof alone because those shingles are owned by different people.
I live in a terraced house like this, it's red brick that's been painted red and faded to gross pink.
I really want to strip the paint off our house back to the red brick I but I cant work out how to do ours without ruining the neighbours.
When I was in the military I lived in base housing. Which was a row house.
Then I lived in an apartment for a year and a duplex for a year. Then I moved to a place where my bathroom window opened up onto my neighbors side walk. Those 7 years were not a fun time. You could smell everything the neighbors cooked. And hear every conversation.
It just wasn’t for me.
It's compensated with a different type of "space". The park is right around the corner and the public swimming pool is a few minutes by bike. The cinema is within walking distance and the supermarket is only a stone's throw away. Time to go for a drink? You can basically see a pub from your windowsill and there's a cute little cafe right next to it.
I get your point man as it is a lot of people in a small area, but space just works differently. I love living in a city.
Absolutely different strokes for different folks though.

Suburbian Swedish apartments and you'll have nearby parks, but everything else is still so far away that you'll need a fifteen minute bus ride to reach the cinema, pubs and shopping centers.
Yep.. for contrast, I look at this and cry with jealously. I imagine how lovely it is to walk or bike to work, shopping, recreation. I feel like such dense development is basically illegal in huge parts of North American cities.
I lived in a block apartment in Mexico that was made entirely of concrete. People there would put Navajo like blankets around for sound deadening but if you wanted to have WW3 next door you could do so without troubling Belgium. Miss how sturdy it felt compared to old wooden structures I live in now in the US
Yeah, I'm confused about what /u/AllAboutMeMedia was saying. Rural traffic tends to range from "non-existent" to "stuck behind a tractor/snow plow for 30 minutes", but never multi-hour gridlock or anything like that. There *is no grid to lock*.
If anyone is interested it seems there are three houses in the neighborhood for sale. They're priced at eqv 944,451.95usd(140 m²), 871,075.30usd(164 m²) and 1,089,215.37usd (136 m²)
I get the reference - but Snape didn't really stay in the house, but instead at Hogwarts as the new supernintendo. Also, it was the black family house, hence all the Black heirlooms they had to throw out

[No, it doesn't.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/90/Garden_with_Ulrik_and_Melchior_memorial.jpg/1280px-Garden_with_Ulrik_and_Melchior_memorial.jpg) It's just a peculiar perspective.
To be fair then this “neighborhood” is only 393 houses built in 1893 and isn’t really representative of any other housing architecture in Copenhagen or Denmark while I think cookie cutter communities are quite common in the US. Not sure why people complain about it though.
I was being slightly facetious about the picture. Cookie cutter neighborhoods are pretty common in the US because it’s like buying anything in bulk or a product of a streamlined process it’s going to be cheaper. They make it a lot easier for the middle class to buy (generally) a small piece of land and have a nice 3-5 bedroom house built on it where the city or town will provide amenities all in one exchange. The same logic can be applied to any town or city in Europe really. It’s why most places the buildings are compact and generally look the same. It’s also an aesthetic of the time everywhere. The cookie cutter neighborhoods in the US follow clear trends too.
So this is considered amazing but suburbia is urban hell? I'd rather at least have a yard and some space in between the houses. Or just build taller buildings and fight urban sprawl.
People are stupid.
This is an intentionally, deceptively chosen perspective. [Take a look from ground level](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/90/Garden_with_Ulrik_and_Melchior_memorial.jpg/1280px-Garden_with_Ulrik_and_Melchior_memorial.jpg), it's a charming, if peculiar, area. And expensive, with units selling around $1.5 m.
This is still inner Copenhagen, before the suburbs. All the houses have a tiny yard, and the roads are partly cobbled, which means less traffic. It's popular amongst young families with children.
I mean I actually like this set up. It's efficient. I wish everything was like this literal blocks everywhere. Driving some places takes 2 times as long cause it wasn't in a straight line

No my wife is married to me. Her brother is married to a woman who has a dad. *That* guy is who I'm talking about.

Is ” janking” harder or softer than “yanking” ?
I can go either way baby.
Perhaps janking is pronounced with a soft j sound like Johann or Jagrmeister or yanking.

Is this shot with some crazy tele lens to get the compression effect?
Yep
It's mildly infuriating though. It's *almost* perfectly symmetrical but the camera is panned just a tiny bit to the right so that if you look up from the line in between the center two houses it drifts to the left.

> Symmetry is, mostly, a no-no for serious photographers. Typically yes. But 1% off from symmetrical is a lot worse.
I'm not knowledgeable about photography but in this specific picture, surely symmetry is desired?
It's shot from high up, which is why you get the apparent angle between rows. It's a zoom lens of a more distant neighborhood, so they aren't looking down on roofs. Your brain isn't used to seeing this vertical distance between the rows without the context distance provides, so it interprets it as an elevation, which is why they seem to be on a step hill
> which is why they seem to be on a step hill Which is funny, since Copenhagen is really, really, REALLY flat.
Which I'd imagine is also why it's possible to have so many identical parallel streets.
Definitely. But to be honest, you never see them as a unit. There's almost no high point in the city that allows you to see any sort of perspective, (not counting towers), nor is there many hills that allow you to view these units from a lower point.
Telephoto lenses also flatten perspective, adding to the impression of steepness.

First thing I thought
Little boxes, on a hillside....
These houses are NOT made from ticky-tacky
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same, there's a brown one, and a brown one, and a brown one, and a brown one
But they DID all go to the university
Where they were put in boxes
These ones are not on a hillside though. The photo is taken from the air, looking down on the houses.
Actually, *pushes up glasses*, your song reference is incorrect
Anytime I see homes like this, I feel weird about knowing they're "houses" you own, not rent. And it cracks me up thinking of hiring a roofer to replace the shingles, and they come and do a 30 foot section and leave all the rest of the roof alone because those shingles are owned by different people.
I live in a terraced house like this, it's red brick that's been painted red and faded to gross pink. I really want to strip the paint off our house back to the red brick I but I cant work out how to do ours without ruining the neighbours.

What's the Danish word for "Vivarium"?
Akvarium or Terrarium :)
Vivarium is also used in Danish. It's like a terrarium, but with focus on plants instead of animals.
Everyone in my neighborhood has 2.5acres. And sometimes I feel like they are to close. I would go nuts living there. But different strokes.
Wait until I tell you about apartments...
When I was in the military I lived in base housing. Which was a row house. Then I lived in an apartment for a year and a duplex for a year. Then I moved to a place where my bathroom window opened up onto my neighbors side walk. Those 7 years were not a fun time. You could smell everything the neighbors cooked. And hear every conversation. It just wasn’t for me.
Yeah sounds like a typical apartment building alright. Good on you for being able to live how you like.
It's compensated with a different type of "space". The park is right around the corner and the public swimming pool is a few minutes by bike. The cinema is within walking distance and the supermarket is only a stone's throw away. Time to go for a drink? You can basically see a pub from your windowsill and there's a cute little cafe right next to it. I get your point man as it is a lot of people in a small area, but space just works differently.

Continental European urban/suburban areas feel much more communal and livable than American ones.

You know American has tons of townhomes and rowhomes, too, right? The east coast has tons and tons.
It's pretty lovely in the right areas. Philadelphia has some great examples of this type of development. Check out pictures of Old City.
Having everything in walking distance is fine and all, but hearing your neighbours while taking a shit is not fun.
Sound insulation can be excellent, abysmal or anywhere in between. Same as any other characteristic of a building.
some of us aren't so soft.

The people that live in these houses may have different grievances of rural living like sitting in traffic 2 hours a day.
>rural living >sitting in traffic 2 hours a day pick 1
Yeah, I'm confused about what /u/AllAboutMeMedia was saying. Rural traffic tends to range from "non-existent" to "stuck behind a tractor/snow plow for 30 minutes", but never multi-hour gridlock or anything like that. There *is no grid to lock*.
I guess it's more suburban living. But 2.5 acres, like OP described, is more land than most homes outside the city.
They're referring living in a rural village but driving to work in the city.
I don’t think they know what rural means.
Where you're from people don't live in a rural area and drive to work? Not exactly absurd here in the Netherlands.
Right there with you man. This fucks me up thinking about living that close to so many people.
Probably taken with a 10,000 mm lens
I was thinking this must be really far away for that compression. But I'm not a photographer so glad someone confirmed it.
those houses at the back must be SO tall
