Wasn't there a house like this in one of the Lethal Weapon films that Riggs pulled down with his vehicle?
That was Lethal Weapon 2, and it was the “house on stilts”, which belonged to the South Africans; not exactly this house but quite similar to it. That was an intense scene, great movie! My favorite in the series *Edited for misspelling South and intense*

Ah, geez. I’d originally asked why you called it “rabbit-shaped,” w de ring how you’d arrived at that when it’s clearly rowboat-shaped. I reread your message, saw what had gone wrong, and then kicked my brain around the block, as I don’t understand what dumbness it was up to. 🙄

The building codes in LA mean that houses have various technologies that help buildings shift with the movement. It's pretty cool. I would trust LA architecture to survive a quake. not so anywhere else that doesn't require that tech in the buildings.

What's up with the random selfie picture in the living room? That's a gorgeous space otherwise!
Duran Duran, Grace Jones (albums) and Ed Paschke paintings. I approve!
I actually like it. The house feels so light, bright and open. Sun and air.
Wowie! In Robert Crais’s books, he describes Elvis Cole’s balcony, and this looks *exactly* like the picture in my head of what he describes. It feels very cool to see something that was in my head come to life! I am shocked, however, by the interior size of the house; I don’t get the impression it’s *that* vast from the outside!.

The creator of “Zillow Gone Wild” has told Bored Panda that they got the idea for the Instagram page when they saw lots of really strange houses on Zillow.

How are these cursed homes? I mean, 3-4 have some odd interior design, but that's all it is. Most of these are amazing properties.

A few less avocado toasts per month and we could all afford one of these places, no problem! I mean all us pandas, put together, could afford one of these places.
My vote is a victorian one. I call the tower room!

Feels like, to me, the majority of these homes are not at all worth what they are priced at. More than half are absolutely heinous, and “historical” doesn’t mean it should be overly expensive. It just means lead paint, asbestos, faulty wiring and plumbing. Meh.
Some of them are outrageously expensive because they're located in parts of the country where, for some inexplicable reason, everyone seems to want to live. What would be a $150K house where I live would cost ten times that in LA. And chill with the asbestos/lead paint paranoia, people. Most of these places have probably been remodeled at least once, and in any case, lead paint won't hurt you if you don't eat it, and asbestos duct insulation is perfectly safe. It's the loose fibers that are a problem.

F**k all of that nonsense. give me four walls and a roof that don't leak that's all I need.
Sometimes I check out homes online that are on the more expensive side and I am often surprised how poor the room lay outs are. Things like having to walk through 2 bedrooms to get to a kitchen or bathrooms with such an awkward design that even though the room itself is big the usability of it is poor.
A lot of these looked very dated. Do people with money never renovate?
As long as the owners like it, who cares what anyone else thinks?

I look at all the open plan, massive ceiling space ones, especially in the colder areas, and think my god the heating bills would be a good percentage of GDP
Most of these aren't homes. They're just ways for rich people to flaunt their wealth.
Anyone who thinks these bizarre has a seriously limited life experience.
I have to wonder how many people have actually lived in these houses for a significant number of years?
Aside from the Frank Lloyd Wright homes, most of these are obscene examples of too much money. No one, I mean NO ONE, needs these kinds of houses.
Considering the high cost of buying even a modest home these things are mixing salt with alcohol and injecting it into a wound with a hypodermic syringe.
A lot would probably look much better with a nice paint job and no clutter.
