Narrow House Upsets McMansion Owners

A 12-foot-wide house is "without a doubt the most ridiculous-looking thing we've ever seen," says Gary O'Neil, standing near a skinny house and a normal-size house in Brooklyn Park. (Sun photo by Andre F. Chung / June 13, 2008)

You're kidding me!...That garage palace is what you ACTUALLY prefer?

Eric Orozco
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
I practice architecture and urban design in Charlotte, N.C., often as a consultant in transportation projects. The rest of my time I help layout the developments of the clients of the firm I work for. While I'd like to be an urbanist, if anything, I'm an expert in the layout of parking lots. For now, just consider me an "aspiring urbanist", until governments allow me to practice what I preach.
