A lot of money had been spent on the houses and they were all huge, but every one looked different. Mobo flew past a building that looked like some child had made it out of coloured leggo-blocks and came to rest in a tree outside the tackiest residence in the whole street.
Mobo had no opinions about human dwellings, except that they wasted a lot of growing space; not sensible like nests or wombat holes.

The only plants out front were clipped and stunted trees stuck into huge, marble urns. They would have looked more at home in a cemetery.
