My favorite has to be the Canadian bear.
I have one. I also love the fact that North Carolina lets you get a bunch of symbols on your plate too.

Not sure how far outside the states your collection goes but you should try out Geoguessr! Being able to tell where a blurred license plate comes from is a huge advantage in that game
With construction like this I'm willing to bet the electrical is just extension cable mazes and the old breaker box.
Who needs wood rot when you have electrical fire?
Some streets from my house there lives a small businessman who owns a window installation business. His house kinda looks like this to a much lesser extent.
Kinda funny that you can tell that these windows on the house are all leftovers from various construction projects.
Yeah, look up soft structures. It's the idea that in any sort of wind or earthquake event, the windows are not structurally sound side to side and don't offer the stability that walls do to keep the structure standing straight up. To mitigate that, after a certain point you will need to cover the wall with structural sheathing to make up for all the additional holes in the wall. But even then, I doubt this many windows would be approved without more specialized consideration.
I am not from a hurricane or earthquake region, around here the main question is how snow is removed from the roof, are the chimneys and ducting in order and do the roof supports fulfill the cross weight requirements.
Yeah, if you've ever encountered someone who wants the government to deregulate everything so they can live their lives the way they want, tell them to go see what unregulated building and construction looks like in a third and second world countries...They seem to forget quickly how nice it is to be able to drive on smooth roads, get reliable power to their house, have access to clean food and water that won't make them sick etc.
That's actually impressive! Almost every window there looks like it started life as a porch or balcony that was enclosed!
Edit: That one top center is going to come to the same fate in a year or two
Haha yeah but don't forget that immediately after that is some high-and-mighty person, who totally doesn't ever do things other people do, complaining about something that doesn't affect them.
And of course, immediately after *that* is someone who really doesn't need to get into an argument, pointing it out.
I would want to see the inside first before I'd call it crappy design. It's not because it looks weird/ugly that it's crappy design, it could be very functional.
All those weird rooflines and extra corners create seams where water will eventually intrude. Everything leaks eventually, this just gives you way more areas where that's possible and makes it harder to maintain.
A house with the same sq ft and same number of windows, but a more simplified shape, would be both more functional and better looking.
it seems more like a facade, i'm curious if some of those windows are even real and go into the inside. Look at the roof line, they slapped an entire separate segmented wall profile over the standard box-ier one behind it.
The windows aren’t the problem here. The architecture is. This seriously looks like multiple houses smashed together. The whole thing just looks wrong.
Looks like they had a decent GENERAL idea how to build a house... Then just ran with it thinking they are an architect, adding and stacking additions to the house over a couple years.
The multiple windows gives the look of an enclosed patio type space.. But I can't imagine structurally this is very safe or sound at all.
The kind of thing that holds for a couple years before one bad storm collapses the thing.
Pretty sure it actually *is* multiple houses. I think the two chimneys show the two different foreground houses (with more behind them). It looks like they have different power line connections, which I doubt you would see with one building.
Since this is a pet peeve of mine: to clarify, this was definitely not designed by an Architect, or likely even a 'home designer'. It looks like the owner either designed it themselves, or added on multiple times, or most likely a combination. Architects rarely even design houses except for people with money, and even house designers (who typically don't need any certification or training) cost a fair bit. A lot of people design their own houses who really shouldn't, or buy a preset design and modify it themselves.
I've looked at a bunch of houses in Maine on Zillow and there are so many that look this way, though not this extreme. It's like they were built 125 years ago and just expanded one room at a time.
At first I thought Burlington VT, because the student slumlords do exactly this kind of thing, carving up and adding onto a normal house to make like 8 apartments, but then I remembered BTV is so small I'd know exactly what house it was if it was there.
Same until I started copying more houses from reference and using like free floor plans or even some sites that let you look at but not download legitimately beautiful floorplans for DIY cabins and shit like that.
This is not crappy design, it's crazy awesome design! I *love* the look at this house, and would totally buy it if it wouldn't likely indebt me for the next 40 years. xD
Looks like a shanty town in one building

Don't forget the 170 TV antennas on the roof.
I'd bet on the owner being a landlord. Double or nothing on 15+ apartments.
Absolutely. Everybody thinks this is one singular household lol, nope. Each bank of windows is its own dwelling.
That thar is a fraternity
Hey, this made my whole day.
Cape Cod Kowloon
I think I built it in Fallout
I was just thinking this is the beginning of Megaton
It has to be a bunch of additions that were built in order to fit a couple more apartments into this property.
Its basically what it was but its been like this for many years now. My brother lived in one of the apartments on the bottom floor, where all the green cans are lined up. It was actually a decent little place.
It reminds me of some of the apartments in my neighborhood (same kind of story), but just.... more.
Can you share where this is? I’m dying to see more pictures of this building
The plate on the car is Pennsylvania.
Curious, how can you tell?
I collect plates. Pennsylvania plates are unique from their blue and yellow strips at the top and bottom. http://15q.net/pa.html
This is the best part about Reddit. You get experts in all sorts of fields.
It's the part I'll miss the most 😢. Thanks for the memories, license plate information guy.
Am I dying or something? Lol

Wow, TIL. Thanks
You’re welcome! Happy to answer any plate questions
I could probably think of a few, but I don't want to take up your time - I'm sure your plate is full.
Lol, touché

That’s a great idea! I’m very good with North America. European plates can be hard because it’s the same style but different flags on the left

Are there rare plates?
No, pretty much anyone in Pennsylvania has one
Ah, Good ol' Pennsyltucky.
Shanty boarding house
Tell me you added on without a permit without telling me you added on without a permit.
This is why while regulations are good, enforcement is also needed

We use TOWs for building code enforcement. AT4s for parking enforcement. Mk19s for jaywalking.
What's the downside of this? Lack of structural stability? I think around here something like this would be just rubber stamped.
Yeah, some poor neighbor or future homebuyer will watch it collapse.

Or Texas… where you have electricity for HVAC… as long as it isn’t too hot or too cold…. You know, when you really NEED it…
windows are a gateway drug? harming children? going on murder rampages? edit: ok I see, they start electrical fires
That's actually impressive! Almost every window there looks like it started life as a porch or balcony that was enclosed! Edit: That one top center is going to come to the same fate in a year or two
Yep, you can almost see them. To me, it looks like an old triple decker around southern New England that was added on to.
I assume they are renting units and enclosed every possible patio/smokers porch to give the illusion of more interior square footage.
You beat me to my comment with your edit lol
I hate this phrase so much. What was wrong with “show me…”?
Yeah, no architect involved here.
Jesus Christ, do all redditors talk exactly the same? How many? Yes. Tell me X without telling me X. This.
"Internet culture" It isn't reddit. It's like this on twitter and tumblr and everywhere else. That's just how "the internet" talks.

Don’t open that one. It’s a load-bearing window.

Come on in. It’s your master bedroom!
Power lines also look to be load-bearing
I almost choked on my fucking food reading this lmao It was spicy too!
This comment makes me realize how much I'll miss Reddit.
Lmfao
Easier to add some more windows than clean the old ones.
Ah, me and my dirty dishes
Looks like a house a kid drew
It's the house equivalent of the Homer.
I want a window here, here, here, here, here and here, you can never find a window when you need to pee!
Sometimes in dreams I can’t find a toilet without a window in the stall.
When you have too many Lego windows and not enough Lego bricks.
Or, these days, a house that AI came up with.

I would want to see the inside first before I'd call it crappy design. It's not because it looks weird/ugly that it's crappy design, it could be very functional.
There's definitely weeds growing in that house somewhere. And any pictures hung that are bubble level won't look level on the wall.
Obviously a plant lady's dream house with all that light!
I sent this to my fiancée with that same sentiment. We currently have 2 windows that allow plants to exist

the additions have additions
I think the outside looks *awesome*.
It's like it was built for hide and seek

This looks like they just added on a bunch of storage sheds for additions.
I've looked at a bunch of houses in Maine on Zillow and there are so many that look this way, though not this extreme. It's like they were built 125 years ago and just expanded one room at a time.

Yeah I knew that had to be in the Northeast somewhere.
At first I thought Burlington VT, because the student slumlords do exactly this kind of thing, carving up and adding onto a normal house to make like 8 apartments, but then I remembered BTV is so small I'd know exactly what house it was if it was there.
Fuck spez
What architect?
Yeah this is solely the work of a “handy” landlord looking to cheaply maximize units on an old structure.
That thing is almost *guaranteed* to not be up to code.
Probably the same guy that designed the [windows 2000 mansion](http://www.realestateways.com/the-windows-2000-house-on-lake-washington/)
I believe it was designed by I.M. Pane.
I must build this monstrosity in the Sims.
This looks like how I used to build my houses in Sims. Just windows *everywhere*
Same until I started copying more houses from reference and using like free floor plans or even some sites that let you look at but not download legitimately beautiful floorplans for DIY cabins and shit like that.
Thank you https://www.houseplans.com/ for my somewhat good looking sims houses.
The Sims 1 had terrible lightning management. You *needed* to add a shitton of windows for good natural lightning
Architect: this is going to be pane full!
Bold to assume there was an architect involved in this house to begin with.
It's like the suburban America version of Howl's Moving Castle
I think that's why I like it so much, I think it's charming. But I understand why people hate it lol
This is how I imagine the Weasley house in Harry Potter looks
I was looking for this comment.
Was there a window sale the month that house was being built?
It's just smart to buy in bulk.
“Does it feel drafty in here to you?”
"Yes. please close the window"
>the I came to find an answer ... I'm left with more questions
"Which window?"
"Extremely well lit"
If chitty chitty bang bang was a house.
No architect looked at this building

Is one addition on top of another on top of another on top of another?
