Do you find the natural contours of the earth boring? If so, I have found the perfect subdivision for you!

If you dream of being trapped in your house in the winter so you can tell your boss you can’t make in to the office after it snows, this is probably a great place to buy a house.
I don’t know if these photos truly capture how badly it drops off once you step off the road, but in some places, it’s easily a 45 degree drop. What happens when there’s an earthquake? I’ll tell you: all this fill turns to Jello.
