I call this standard 5-story thing dangerously backwards. Anti-progress.
And those are not even of the worst kind of it.
Worst is pastiches trying to imitate the 19th or early 20th centuries. I spit and piss on them with no mercy in my Paris conservative suburb.
They're pissing me off, stubborn as they are.
It's completely stupid, nonsensical, downright obscurantist and evil to enforce height limitation when your housing market is skyrocketing.
High-rises are only something practical and obvious. Capitalism or socialism has nothing to do with it.
Think about it. If we always had to submit to the nimby mindset, we'd still be living in caves like prehistorian monkeys.
Ça m'énerve quand ils rechignent à des étages supplémentaires. Stupides... Idiots !
