Wat?? Alameda is a genuinely nice place. Plus it's in close proximity to San Fran and Oakland, which isn't as bad as the tourists make it out to be.

i dont particularly know, automatic weapons are illegal - you can get a semi auto ak or whatevs no prob, as to whether you can fire it on yr property has a lot to do w/local ordinances, generally the less people you live near the more likely it is you are allowed to fuck w/guns, pointing weapons at church going folk is frowned upon tho

Alameda sits adjacent to the Oakland Airport which is rad if you're into jet-noise.

think I would go fo alameda, I would get freaked out by having these floor to ceiling windows that looked out into...the vast desert...
three great, great homes. but i think i'd have to factor in the community. not sure precisely where the NY home is located in the state, but i think the CA home's proximity to SF makes that the choice for me.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 13 January 2011 00:57 (thirteen years ago) link
incidentally 775K for those homes is -- even in this market -- phenomenal.
love Alameda, but I'd try to brighten up the interior - it takes skill, but I've seen some really well-done homes mixing Crafstman and later modernism
The Cody house would be bitching just because it backs up to a mountain, which equals shooting range to me.

don't care for the wyoming house. it's nice and i love the spaciousness, but there's a cartoon western rusticity that grates. plus i'm almost certain i wouldn't care to live in/near cody, WY, so the house itself is beside the point anyway.
both of the others are gorgeous. prefer the woodstock setting (8 acres of woods!), but i'm a west coaster, so alameda sounds great. alameda house does pose obstacles in terms of the dark, woody interior - milo z OTM there. beautiful, but not exactly to my taste . wouldn't want to fuck with it, but nor would i feel entirely trapped by the period and style in deciding how to actually live in it. love the kitchen. then again, love the bath in woodstock. hard to call...

Austin house does a good job of balancing Craftsman cottage style with modern. I'd still probably strip all the wood and go lighter, though. (WTF at that place going for almost a half-mil in Austin? Real estate prices jumped since the last time I knew anyone shopping down there, I guess.)Chicago condo is nice, but the kitchen is out of place.Florida house is Florida-y.

I think the Houston house itself is the best of the three. I don't really like the style of the stuff in it, but sweet solarium. The first one does creep me out a little. I hate vaulted ceiling bedrooms, and it looks more like a lodge than a home.
― signed, J.P. Morgan CEO (Hurting 2), Sunday, 15 December 2013 02:39 (ten years ago) link
And the third one is just boring and ugly and I can't even believe it's over 1 million.
That first one has a nice exterior and great location and then goddamn the ugliest fucking interior ever. Those floors look terrible. Sure, wide planks if you want to look vintage but they weren't making floors out of 1x12s.
Houston is a malarial swamp and that interior looks like a modernist McMansion in California. The solarium is a nice idea, except that you could only use it for 3 months/year in Houston.
