Comments

  1. They look good, but are not well build... Hollow bricks instead of real ones... yikes
  2. Why are they jamming all the houses right up against each other?  Why not some yard and gardens between them, and in front of them.  Looks like the old villages.
  3. Amazing. So much better than these fields crammed with tiny little 'monopoly' houses that appear overnight down South. No distinction. No sense of the environment. Coed Darcy should be a lesson in our future.
  4. Absolutely beautiful.  One question, though; has there been found any contamination in the soil? I ask because near where I live a community was erected on an abandoned oil field, and now all of the wells are polluted.  Thanks. BRIAN
  5. Beauty from ashes. Cracker does it again!
