Holdout champions keeping their hick shack and junk cars on prime real estate in central Ottawa.

A few blocks from parliament in our nation's capital there's this ancient trashy brick shack with junk cars in the lot, surrounded by brand new apartment buildings. They're holding out for a big payout I bet.

How is this a shitpost? Your shit attitude towards others and how they live? Your shitty attempt at (nonexistent) humor? Your shit understanding of what a shitpost is?

They're literally trying to sell this land, with a "for inquiries" sign. I'm showing respect for their game.

Also, 99% of this sub is just memes, not shit posts at all. Look how sincere and mean and hurt you are.

Your shit attitude towards others

Um, that's you. Lighten up.

I mean, it's prime real estate, easily worth several million.

Dude will be living very well when the right property management company responds to that "for inquiries" sign.

Is it your property and this is a marketing attempt?

no

I don’t understand why you posted in this comm.

because it's funny and people here like things that are funny

That's a nice looking house. I hope that it doesn't get torn down. We can build density, and keep cool old houses like this. It's not one or the other.

The "for inquiries" sign suggests they want to sell. The fucked up cars (including one with four flat tires) suggests they want this eyesore to lower surrounding property value and further incentivize the sale. Also the house is visibly falling apart. I hope the owners get a decent price. I'm not criticizing. I just think it's an interesting story in one picture, so I'm sharing.

Yeah, that balcony/veranda is like a 75 degree slope and barely holding on

thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

did you miss the roof?

Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I cant tell which parts of the roof are intact and which are fucked up, the lighter or darker grey. Also, the foundation.

thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org · 3 pts · 1y

the light parts are the wood, half of the shingles are worn off and the front part is missing chunks

this roof probably leaks everywhere, the attic and second floor probably look like the last scenes of BladeRunner
