Hideous buildings.

So you can buy a little castle, but everyone on the block has the same thing. Hmm.
Where’s the garage?
Muslims can be so tacky. Please villas were inspired by Disney? Give me a break

How do you tell them apart?

Looks like a gnome convention! And they’re all dressed alike...just like our suburbia!
Spain has their ghost town too. I saw it on Top Gear when the guys stayed over in a empty building.
No utilities above ground, no transformers on surface ground.
No storm sewers or sanitation sewers.
Not up to code.
Looks like a good place to house refugees from Syria.
bingo!
