[COR ML] Mesabi Landing - North Quarter

Darnok · May 11, 2018

"Mornin' Mordo!"

"Mornin'? M'lady, it is late afternoon!"

"Eh, I just got up, which makes this morning. Anyway, who is the walking wall of paper?"

"Just Joe, with the paperwork for my newest project: a new quarter north of Mesabi Landing. By the way, where is that nice carpet gone?"

"Away for cleaning. Puked on it after emptying the crate of wine over there last evening. So, this North Quarter... tell me more."

"See, we have grown Mesabi Landing considerably over the last months, and we had a huge influx of workers and whatnot. Most of these have no houses yet though, and we should change that. So I want to get a housing project on the way, giving every minifig a cheap home that needs one."

"Mordo, we are not the Salvation Army - where is the profit for the WTC?"

"Once all those houses are built and filled with happy tenants, we can just raise the rent by 20% or whatever we want. Nobody will want to leave their new home, so they will pay. And next year we simply do it again. Whoever moves out will quickly get replaced by others - which we can rip off with even higher rent."

"Brilliant! Make it so!"

=======================================================================================

I noticed Mesabi Landing having a serious shortage in residences - something that will change over the next weeks and months. Most of the houses will look very similar, which is done on purpose. The houses are supposed to be pretty standardised, and I also have a look similar to the settlements of Lanzarote in mind:

So: mostly white, with contrast colours on windows and doors. Expect nothing spectacular, this is meant to be row after row of small houses - basically a dormitory town. To not flood the forum with threads, all residence builds will be posted in this thread.
