The harsh reality of living in a new building: Endless rows of similar gardens with fences...

These horrific scenes appear to be of people moving into new apartment complexes, photographed by a popular Twitter account. Members of the public are being urged to send in photos that capture problematic design moments so they can be shared widely with internet users who often mock architecture.

One recent photo shows a block of red brick houses with six-foot-high wooden fences separating the back gardens. Fences run in random directions instead of straight lines that would evenly divide gardens between houses. Other photos show how street furniture is blocking driveways or some trim elements are missing from new construction.

Other photos show how some elements of the apartments have fallen off and other design details make finished construction projects look odd. In one case, a communication box for broadband internet or telephony was installed in such a way as to block access to a parking space. Another photo shows an apartment balcony built away from a window and patio.

One home shows garage doors blocked by recently installed lampposts, while many properties have peeling walls and damp. In many cases, taller buildings have 'fake brick' cladding installed, which is subject to weather damage after a few years.

One Twitter account, @HateNewbuild, posted this photo with the comment, "Wouldn't it be great if developers added a fruit tree at the bottom of each orchard." One person responded, "The problem is that 99% of new owners would remove these trees anyway because they are too lazy to take care of them and can't handle the small amount of fallen leaves in the fall." Others point out the tragedy for wildlife created by such a design.

One commentator said: "All new housing developments should (in my opinion) legislate for a percentage of green space, hedgehog holes, wildlife etc. A building permit should not be issued unless it is provided for from the outset." Another said: "Terrible.

Some said they would be "depressed" to live there, with one adding "no fantasy", while another described it as "tragic". Others see a funny side to it. "As a teenager it would be perfect for jumping over fences..... who can jump the most and get back to base without getting caught," joked one person. Another said: "No different to the hundreds of thousands of terraced houses of the 1900s, except that they are four times the size and don't have a ten foot space in the middle. Developers should be forced to add mature trees along the centerline and plant more vegetation." But someone replied jokingly, "How can you say that, look at the beautiful curvature of the fence. I would love to wake up to a view like that, inspiring.".
