Simpson didn’t design the skinny house. He doesn’t own it. He isn’t selling it. He wasn’t the developer. The company, Mickey Simpson, was paid to build the house. I’m sorry you have such strong feelings about him, but he’s not involved here.

Another sad tale of affordable housing turned into an unaffordable McMansion monstrosity. I would love to challenge Simpson to make smaller affordable homes in the area. Now there is a real challenge! I live across the street from two of his ticky-tacky boxes and it never ceases to amaze me how uninspiring they are.

I saw this house. I love the inside. The price as of the date of this post is around $1.125 Million. I wouldn’t pay more than $700,000 for it myself, given all of the other options available in Arlington. The bus stop is right in front of the house and that little pre-recorded message that broadcasts the *next stop* can be heard loud and clear from inside the house. In addition, the house has no garage, and the commercial land behind and next to the property scares me as far as *future* construction. Other than that, the house interior is clever and modern and I would definitely make an offer if it weren’t for the “bus-stop-no-garage-commercial-lot-uncertainty” factor. Best of luck to the builder and the neighbors.
