Redbone clipped the Redneck Mansion first, but it instantly reminded me of Habitat 67 in Montreal, and the two contrasted side by side show why.

My understanding is that Habitat is still considered a very desirable place to live.

	Habitat 67, an experiment in apartment living, became the
permanent symbol of Expo 67 after it closed. It was Canadian architect
Moshe Safdie's experiment to make a fundamentally better and cheaper
housing for the masses. He attempted to make a revolution in the way
homes were built - by the industrialization of the building process;
essentially factory mass production. He felt that it was more efficient
to make buildings in factories and deliver them prefabricated to the
site.

	As Habitat was designed, it resembled a curious concrete mountain
 of dwelling places, strikingly modern, yet reminiscent of a Taos Indian
 pueblo village, or an Italian hill town. Its units were built on the ground,
 then hoisted by crane into place five, six or more stories above the ground.
