3 Super Weird Places People Actually Live
March 20, 2013 - 11:52 am | PermalinkApparently, people will live just about anywhere, in any environment. So the next time you’re lamenting your tiny one bedroom apartment, remember that you could be living in a billboard sign—no, really.
Capitalist swine hating environmentalists probably love this one—no longer are the billboards being used to hock overpriced hotels and delicious cheeseburgers, but are now instead being used to house the most precious commodity of all: your fellow man. Living in a billboard home is so absurd that it has to be done out of choice and not necessity, so chances are you're required to have home-grown dreadlocks and a Phish t-shirt in order to apply for residency in one of these bad boys.
“The Tower”
This one is actually pretty cool—someone remodeled and old water tower into a very clean and modernized house. This California based water-tower-turned-abode has a bunch of windows at the top too, kind of like a lighthouse, so you can enjoy the view of the nearby Huntington Harbor and the San Gabriel river. The tower home isn't quite as bizarre as the other places featured here, but it most definitely is an eccentric feat of architecture. Ironically, the house doesn't have running water. Actually, that's probably not true, but it would be funny if it were.
Beached Boat House
So, there's this island in Lake Erie in Ohio, and it has a beached old boat on it. What was one man's shipwreck ended up becoming another man's home. Interestingly, the boat actually belonged to Henry Ford (the car guy), and was used on the lake for over 50 years. Though eventually, the old girl had just deteriorated too far. So the new owners did exactly what any rational, logically thinking person would do: turned it into a home. Could you imagine living in this thing and taking girls home? There would have to be some kind of pirate or booty joke in there somewhere. Or maybe, if you were particularly clever, you would ask your lady friends to “swab the poop deck.” Ahoy matey.
