A big house building, just for you guys.

The last three are quite poor. The first three are way better than anything built here. So I guess experience equates to what we deem bad.

terrible

So bad its humorous

urban, at its finest

Dewdney, the entry way to our warehouse district

Regina's suburbia

Regina can compete with anything in this thread toe to toe, except clockzilla. I'm sure we're working on it though.

That "so bad it's humorous" hotel is the only thing that competes with the Venetian.

That second and last one are.....ouch. But if you wanna talk ugly suburbia we in Ontario have the McMansions of Oakville.

See I liked the local Chinese restaurant so much I made a house out of it.

It’s also described as having a fairytale atmosphere, the one Trump tells his children?

Another guy with above average income who thinks he’s the rustic Bill Gates.

This ones in Stony Creek but yeah.....Oakville and Stony Creek are practically the same thing when it comes to McMansions.

I don’t know what to say, I’m speechless this ones that ugly.

Also I saw the inside of the so called “fairytale” one and it was to good to leave out. It’s honestly up there with that shitty one in Quebec from the original Ugly Canada Thread.

That’s one of the more abysmal (if not the) worst McMansion interior Oakville has churned out so far. If Trump was Canadian I can guarantee he would live in Oakville, if he didn’t design the interior of this house in the first place.

The mansions are awesomely tasteful.

I forgot that in suburbia you could get here in just a couple of clicks. The screened in balconies look particularly jail-like.

Ok those are abhorrent. You win

. But in terms of being a bulky forest of McMansions Oakville takes the cake.

Pish posh with your beautiful mansions!

Can you imagine awkward family gatherings in the "turret"?

Yup the castle is 500x worse than any of my mansions, and I agree some people love the mansions I posted. I just never liked giant mansions and I legitimately find the interior of that one mansion tacky. But to each his own.

We also had a castle house built in Toronto, thankfully it’s getting torn down.

it is leagues better than your castle (I can only imagine what the neighbors think

). I personally think it looks cobbled together and ridiculous but to each his own

GeneralLeeTPHLS · #**592** Posted **Jan 29, 2019, 10:44 PM**

It looks like something you'd find in Mississauga or Oakville. Like it's off a well used road, near a highway somewhere.

It could be a veritable tourist attraction!

Also your comment reminded me of another castle.

The retro castle will be torn down, aspen heights castle is one hell of a house.

Ding ding ding ding we have a winner!!!

So ugly it actually gets torn down!

Skygazer · #**598** Posted **Jan 30, 2019, 1:48 AM**

I've always found Saskatoon's downtown Holiday Inn to be quite ugly and almost prison-like:

O-tacular · #**599** Posted **Jan 30, 2019, 2:02 AM**

That Holiday Inn does look quite foreboding and oppressive.
