Those buildings are called cholets and are created by an architect called Freddy Mamani.
Usually a cholet has commercial space for rent on the ground floor, a big space for family parties on the first and apartments over that. And the owner home on the top floor.

Are they any good to live in?

This statement isn't false.

However....... As one who does a considerable amount of residential work (geotechnical investigations), there are a poo poo load of very nice, very good, still structurally sound, old houses that just don't happen to be heritage/historic designated, that get torn down for new builds.

This happens all the time where I live and it's infuriating. Classic mid-century California houses getting knocked down for two story identical monstrosities.

PWA Moderne (aka Federal Modernism aka Stripped Classicism) is the best government building style but I'm sure it's off the list because it was originally sponsored by :argh: socialism :argh:.

Alls I want from government buildings is more use of those steel letters that all the mid-century post offices use. You know the one.

The other sides do not make any more sense:




The back looks like the way a small child draws a house, just a flat front and WINDOWS WINDOWS WINDOWS. I really appreciate the six different sliding doors that don't have consistent heights or fit, complements the single weird staggered window nicely.

This is absolutely terrible but I kinda dig it.

the reason that the property was up for sale was because it was an ebay/amazon type seller who got busted for tax fraud

No, he was charged with re-selling stolen goods that he claims he didn't know were stolen, and given the state of the property I think I believe him.
