Jail cells. Keeping them close together like that makes it easier for the prisoners, er, residents to spy on and tattle on each other.

Hey! That's the suburb just north of Toronto. A green belt legislation was recently imposed around Toronto to stop this sort of thing.

Oh, ok, phew! It had me worried there for a minute. Imagine a place like that actually existing in reality!

The reflections in the 'photo' are most likely created by optical caustics bounced from the adjacent glass windows. Cheaper, thinner glass can have distortions that create this, as well as s***ty fitting frames. Windows installed to tightly can create distortion as well.

I don't see anything that tells me this is a fake, and Markham looks like this.

Looks like a lot of places around here. Look up Fontana, CA (92335) in google earth and I'm sure you'll see a lot of that.

Someone has picked up Don's repartee, And shot a "bandolier torpedo" at me. And now I've suffered a flame though exceedingly lame

Well at least secretia can always pick colors for us.

most likely created by optical caustics
