I’m sure James Kunstler would love that word. It comes via The Yorkshire Ranter who marvels in horror at the gallery of foreclosed homes in the Los Angeles Times:
It’s hardly got any windows on the street side at all! Just two huge garage doors. Those doors are a common feature throughout the show — houses whose outward appearance is totally dominated by monster garages, like a great big fat ugly gob. Anything human in the architecture skulks behind the garage, as if ashamed. It’s as if cars designed these buildings for their own use — realising, of course, they needed to make provision for the people, but sadly not being quite able to understand their needs.
Indeed.
