Ian picked this up from Rachael Ashe’s site, Canvas to the Imagination
Last week these small red houses began popping up in vacant lots around the east side of Vancouver. The one pictured here is located at Hastings and Commercial Drive, and I’ve seen one on Main near Prior, and another at Clark and 1st. When I shared the photo on Twitter a friend pointed out that this is a large-scale hotel piece from the game Monopoly. I didn’t realize this because I’ve only played it once or twice, and it was a million years ago.
It’s a brilliant comment on the state of the housing market in Vancouver. I would love to discover who is behind this clever street art project.
Apparently, they are renting out for $800 per month.
$900 if you want them to put in a window.
