The worst part is that those lots look big enough for side-load garages. Makes driveways way easier.

I'd build a sweet kicker at the end of the driveway, it would be gnarly.

I wouldn't want to teach my teenager how to drive a stick shift up that. Or down that.

You're a day late to the "bash Scott because he's stressed out" party.

Yeah he's probably had a few joints/beers/bj's by now to relieve the stress.

I saw this project a year or so ago. I still can't believe that somewhere along the way someone didn't see the potential problem..............road down here, house up there, driveway length 30 feet...........hmmmmm.

What's extra stupid is that it looks like those houses were intenionally built up high. It's not like the surrounding area is particularly steep... I swear it's as if they build up the ground to put the houses up high, but added the driveways as an after thought.

flooding? Roads flood but the houses don't?

If that area is subjected to that much flooding regularly, they should have just built a dock.

Actually, those driveways are really just boad ramps. The streets will be flooded as soon as the construction is done.

Maybe they plan on flooding it in the future, like a little Veinna!!?

Kevin M · 2006-10-05, 01:16 PM

Venice... there's not a lot of flooding in Vienna.

I'm pretty sure it's Venice that's under water. Vienna is the capital of Austria (no Kangaroos).

Edit: foiled by the Kangaroo joke!
