Talk:Line house


 * People putting houses up,
 * On the border louses up,
 * Our ability to boss,
 * Everyone who tries to cross.

Opening sentence

 * "A line house is a building deliberately located so that an international boundary passes through it."

To me, that says the border was already there and someone came along and constructed a building that straddled the border, requiring building approval from local legal jurisdictions on both sides of the border. But surely it was the other way around: the building was already there, and then the authorities changed the border so that it went through the building. No? --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  20:38, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
