Tents

A street full of new row houses in the north-east of Montréal. Almost every house has a tent over the garage entry to keep the snow away. You’d think that architects are aware that building a garage entry that slopes down a metre over only three metres of total length, is not a good idea in a city that receives a couple of metres of snow every winter. You would also think that if an architect would design such a thing he could have made a kind of permanent roof over the entry. But no, he didn’t (it must have been a man, women are too smart to make such a mistake). So now everybody has to install a tent, rendering this street butt ugly. The power-lines don’t help much either to make this a beautiful street. They can put these things in the ground, but they don’t. It probably is a bit more expensive.
