For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

"luxury apartments" will never cease to sound like an oxymoron to me, it's like "low-budget castle"
A new apartment building is going up in the middle of my small town. It’s “luxury” apartments.
Big black “stylish” (see also: identical to every other luxury apartment building in the last 5 years) building on top of a hill in the middle of a low-cost and simple rural community. It’s so ridiculous. It stands out horribly, and looks terrible. And it’s right next to a gas station.. so it looks even more ridiculous. I doubt they will get a lot of renters for it.
About a decade back there was a push to build luxury apartments in the town over. They built them all (few hundred units) right next to the landfill. I’ve driven past said landfill in summer and nearly throw up. I can’t imagine living next to that, and calling my place luxury..
