Rightmove recently showed me a 10ft wide, 400ft long strip of land literally in between a bunch of people’s houses, for £1000. I mean yeah, sure, it’s affordable. But what the fuck am I supposed to do with that? Run up and down it? Dig a tunnel? Host a head-to-toe sleepover with ten of my closest friends, all of whom are snakes?
You’ve heard of the tinyhouse trend, now get ready for ThinHouse™️
This is especially frustrating because you could build a perfectly livable house in that space, it would just be so weird shaped that the city would somehow decide it’s illegal.
In many jurisdictions it’d be the same for growing a garden there, or pretty much anything good you could do with it.
(I think the corporately-acceptable thing to do with it is “sell a piece of it to each adjacent homeowner, at a markup”.)
