Why the clickbait-y title? Just say "Inside Weird Homes"... that whole "refuse to buy" bit was unnecessary and misleading. The content was otherwise quite enjoyable; thank you for the time you put into your unique choices.
Yeah, i did still enjoy it, but it was distracting when he'd say how much each house just sold for and i'm like "what was this video called?" I thought they were reject houses--murder houses, haunted houses, creepy designs, idk... but it truly was just a 'list of unique houses'. IDK i think it felt like a letdown because it set an expectation first.@@LocozillaYT
All the cache of cool for the dome home goes straight out the window when you see that its neighbors are literal motor homes and fifth wheels. All the cool just evaporates....
I have seen other videos of the Snail House, and wish you could have shown more of the interior because it's a truly beautiful organic home. The main bathroom is stunning in its mosaic design even for the basin. I personally would love to live in a home where you are walking among the plants on a walkway rather than a boring square, carpeted room.
Speaking as a residential electrician and plumber, you couldn't pay me to live in any of these piles of junk. Total waste of space and building materials, every one of them.
Some of these houses are really neat, but I would never be able to tour any of them because I wouldn't be able to get my over-sized wheelchair in them.
I don't think it's possible to be less enthusiastic than you are narrating this video. Was hoping to watch it through the end but I just can't bear it.
"people refuse to buy" also "sold in 202x" sold in 202x sold in 202x "can be seen by this dining room" that's the bathroom on sale for 7xxk, now on sale for 6xxk. now that's a house people don't want to buy
I can honestly tell you there IS a market. I've bought the same house twice, because its round. And weird. I love it here. Made a secret door to go all the way around.
I have a lot of respect for the designers of places like this...even the bizarre ones. In California it seems like we're getting the same new apartment building over and over and over again in every big, medium, and small city here. These are a nice change of pace and a welcome contrast.
Florida ceiling: Floor. To. Ceiling. There is a lesser known (Mid-Century) Sarasota School of Architecture founded by the late Gene Leedy, that features something you might call a Florida roof: the roof itself is supported by visible steel beams, and underneath them there are series of windows, both for light and for ventilation. You should check them out. I'm mad at Gene for accepting a contract to replace a beautiful little Old Florida bungalow I once lived in with one of his designs. No contest, my old home was much superior. And historic. Now Gene is historic, instead.
I helped build Bonita Domes while attending CalEarth to learn earthbag construction. The home was built by consecutive classes as they neared graduation. It's so cool to see the finished construction.
Were you an intern working for free? That's a way to get a house built! Edit: I'm sure it was a wonderful learning experience as well but it is a bit shady to get free labor ijs
@@vincentvangogodancer While taking a carpentry night class I learned that you can submit for having the Vocational School instructors build on property you own. Saw some of the finished projects from small ones like patios and garages to full homes, built at almost cost to help with education.
I was told about your channel by another youtuber (Dumpster Diving Momma of 2) and WOW was she right !!! Your videos are awesome and some are very strange indeed.
The 'Saxaphone House' at 5:45... something's very wrong with it, if it's located in Berkley CA, and sold for UNDER a million dollars. There's backyard sheds in the Bay Area that sell for that price!
And how can the Bonita Homes be situated in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park? Are the people who built a house on federal land in jail yet? Or did they get some kind of special permission? A lot of interesting questions here . . . .
Those are beautiful to be honest,if i was rich i would buy some of those for go trips to visit the places,and also enjoy some peace and quiet! Don't worry eventually a rich one will buy one or two of those,and with the rent you can put in those the owners can be also a little more richer am i right?!
Would like to have seen inside the houses, some were described but only a room maybe shown. Definitely a misleading title, people have obviously bought them
That saxophone house in the Claremont district of Berkeley sold in May of 2023 for just over $1M dollars?! Wow! What a bargain! You can’t barely buy a garage in the S.F. Bay Area for under $500K!
When I lived in the Bay Area, I went through and around the Claremont area many times. I even found Rita Moreno's house. I am shocked that I never saw this house. Maybe I drove right by it on Grizzly Peak or Skyline Blvds. Its architecture certainly says "only in Berkeley."
@@elwoodblues9613 I’ve never seen it, either, and I lived in those Caldecott Apartments (Parkwoods; the ones that went up first during the terrible Oakland Hills Firestorm), and lived in Oakland and worked in Piedmont. It must be tucked up there somewhere above the Caldecott Tunnel or behind the old Claremont Hotel. I didn’t know the lovely Rita Moreno had a home in the Bay Area. That is interesting! I’m still shocked at the low price, cuz it looks like a really cool house!
I live the sea shell that colored glass wall and the light it brings in and the cute Lil living room I could see putting the feet up and hanging out in there lol
Okay @kylemcgran you got me. I thought this video might actually be about weird homes that have been on the market for a long time, but in typical clickbait fashion only one of the homes was even for sale. I didn't watch the whole thing, so maybe more were for sale. Why not just title it, "Weird homes you want to see?" or at least tell us how long the property has been on the market.
Ummmm ..... Just my 3¢... BUT.... As others have mentioned.... Why claim these are weird house's that No one wants to buy!?!?... Pretty sure you only mentioned two that are actually even "For Sale!!" Even soo I think the asking price disqualifies or narrows down the amount of home buyers even able to spend that kinda cash!!! As opposed to No one wanting to buy them because they are weird!?!!
Refuse to buy or could never afford to buy? When you find a weird home that's declining in value and still not being sold then you can say people refuse to buy.
And the whole time I’m thinking “ people who live in glasshouses should dress in the basement” Truth is, I wouldn’t want to live in any of these, not just because of the excessively monochrome interiors. My father is in the building trades, and I work for a professional maid service… these things are very difficult to heat and cool because of their architecture. Most of them waste tremendous amounts of space and I can guarantee most of them are a pain in the butt to clean. Glass in particular is infuriating to clean. If you have pets or children, or or even a normal human being all that glass would be a nightmare of smeared windows.
Water features in a home are always a bad idea. The home will be musty or moldy. We work so hard to keep things dry and mold free with shelter so water features are working against this fundamental goal of shelter.
Agreed. Having part of my house underground and being in a holler between two ridges both full of springs has been a real mold management challenge. Best solution has been central heating and trenches dug the back of the house around over the years.
Many years ago I delivered pizzas to a rich house. They had a indoor waterfall. It was absolutely stunning. I delivered there several times, they tipped well but the best part was seeing that waterfall.
Inside? Not! Most "inside" shots are overly long stills of 1 or 2 rooms! That, along with the monotonous delivery of the voiceovers equal a truly underwhelming experience.
I was wondering this too, is this his real voice or was this generated? The intonation midsentence and at the end of sentences was unnatural and disturbing
Among the houses not mentioned is one of my favorites. Among the mansions of Hillsborough CA is a set of earthy domes visible from I-280. It was off-white for its first 20 years, then its owner had it painted dirty orange, earning it the local name "The Flintstone House."
All painfully ugly, these houses illustrate a formidable lack of warmth, but my favorite is the "Invisible" because everything around it is beautiful at least. It's the only one with any charm at all. The birds slamming into it might get a little old though.
'Darth Vader House', although a bad name for it, despite my appetite for Star Wars, might be about the only one interesting, perhaps with the Invisible House. Looking at these makes me think I don't understand sh!t about art >.>
I used to live on Western avenue in Bethesda Maryland a block from the mushroom house. It's on a side street about halfway between the circle at Massachusetts ave and the Hare Krishna monastery. You can find it on Google maps and street view.
I might not want to live in most of these, as they don't really suit my tastes, but the Milton Sidney house is just repellent to me on every level. I do not want to live in it, I do not want to visit it, I do not want to even live near it. It is not a home or even a showpiece; it is the absolute embodiment of soulless Modern architecture, neither functional nor beautiful.
Why show the Kirsch house on the thumb and then not even cover it in the video? I did enjoy the homes, but the title is also wrong as some have been sold.
@@MorningStarmama13 well obviously i cant show it here but the outside is yellow and white stripes and i have a garden in front of cactus and many other random objects!
There are homes I would love to buy but can not affort sadly enough!!! I love strange & weird HAHA, I'm a bit strange & weird myself so that is why I would love to life in such houses!! If anybody needs a person to life in such a house (with my son) and it is near (really near) shops (cause w ecan not drive a car!!), count me in ROFL!!!! Love from an old (rebel) Pinkie
There’s a geodesic dome in Andrews, Texas that was built in the 70’s by the Andrews High School Building Trades class. It’s still being used as a family home today. I’ve never been in it or I’d tell you more about it!
Beautiful insides. Love the homes.
I love the two pronunciations of "adobe" within 30 seconds.
The house shown on the thumb nail is in clear lake iowa. The reason I know this is because I used to live in mason city just a few miles away
Birds fly into glass and mirrors constantly. Nevermind other confused creatures.
The house in the thumbnail looks like the Hall of Justice for the Justice League.
Yes, you're so right. Ha ha.
WARNING: House in thumbnail is not in video. Misleading.
The house is in Clear Lake, IA by the lake
@@michaelmarshall861 No that's a different house.
Where is that building from the topic picture???
Nothing like indoor pool smell when you're trying to eat.

is it that big of a deal
It made you click the video, and you enjoyed the video lol. I guess I just don't much care about titles as long as the video is good

@@ingridfong-daley5899agreed
The majority of these videos have misleading titles to get people to watch. I've gotten so I don't believe any of these titles.
All the cache of cool for the dome home goes straight out the window when you see that its neighbors are literal motor homes and fifth wheels. All the cool just evaporates....
What about the building in the thumbnail? I wanted to see more about that one.
Look it up. The house is in Clear Lake ,IA
The first one is straight out from Barbapapa
Why is this titled "Refuse to buy" when you say the last time they were sold for most of them?
Clickbait, the house on the thumbnail wasnt shown.
Ugh qow😮

Where is the home featured at the start of the video ?
The thumb nail house is in Clear Lake, IA
I couldn’t find that mirror house to get in. And once in, I’d spend the whole time walking into things.
Adobe is a natural build materials. It's not made out of plaster/cement.
Some of these houses are really neat, but I would never be able to tour any of them because I wouldn't be able to get my over-sized wheelchair in them.
I want my Darth Vader home
I don't think it's possible to be less enthusiastic than you are narrating this video. Was hoping to watch it through the end but I just can't bear it.
Amen.
It's like a hostage reading the kidnapper's demands. I'd up the antidepressants.
Me too, plus I detest misleading titles. Watched less than 60 seconds.
what I do is change the speed to 1.25 - makes it less boring...
So true.
The "Invisible" house must be the cause of any bird deaths as they fly into it.
11:27 Looks like a Mcdonald's Play Place.
A FEW OF THESE ARE OK, BUT MANY OF THEM SHOW WHAT AN ABSOLUTE MADHOUSE THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD HAS BECOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Birds fly into those mirror homes, if you get one you need to put certain things around it to let them know
Being from New Zealand a quake prpne country, half of these i wince at if a quake hit the area. Most would fall down like a house of cards!!
"people refuse to buy"
also "sold in 202x"
sold in 202x
sold in 202x
"can be seen by this dining room" that's the bathroom
on sale for 7xxk, now on sale for 6xxk. now that's a house people don't want to buy
I can honestly tell you there IS a market. I've bought the same house twice, because its round. And weird. I love it here. Made a secret door to go all the way around.
Why trick me to click 😠
I really like the invisible one...
I couldn't have a mirror house where I live. Deer would fight themselves each year and break the mirrors. Birds would fly into them constantly too.
Casa invisible - how many birds does this kill a year?
Legit like the Modern Airship I would live in that.
CLICKBAIT. ☹

Living in that house in Japan would make me feel like I'd finally gone totally loco in the head! All those colors - my God ! Not for me.
This is what happens when your on Mushrooms !.
😢😢😢very silly to built a house with mirrors as walls millions of birds can lost their life's with walls like that !😢
These are some of the ugliest building I have ever seen and I would never dream of living in such bizarre places.
To tell you the truth, while I appreciate the artistic talent it took to create these structures, I wouldn't want to live in any of them.
The nautilus house looks more like it came from the yellow submarine than Alice in wonderland
And how can the Bonita Homes be situated in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park? Are the people who built a house on federal land in jail yet? Or did they get some kind of special permission? A lot of interesting questions here . . . .
The 1st home from the thumbnail Will never be cheap because of it's location. Oak park / Riverforest IL
As someone who needs a house, I see this as a total win.
