slot house

In newly gentrifying urban neighborhoods, when a longstanding traditional family home is replaced by an upscale modern box style home too large for the lot size, disrepectful of the neighborhood culture, built of shoddy but showy materials and really ugly. Often houses far more residents than there is parking for their cars. In some cities, also refered to by the name of the mayor that allows them to be built. (See Denver's Hancock Houses)

Hancock House

Hancock Hou, ses are thin, boxy, ugly. poorly constructed houses used for urban infill in gentrifying neighborhoods.

Hancock Houses are usually flat-roofed and flout the original design esthetic of the surrounding neighborhood.
Related to "Hancock", shoving your head up someone's ass (proverbially).
Hancock Houses are often described as "Fugly."

Oh boy #9.

The revenge of the Hancock Houses continued in 2020, despite the moratorium that was supposed to fix these sloppy, ugly monstrosities from infecting our neighborhoods. Despite the pronouncement by the City that "Slot Homes were dead," turns out they pushed through a few hundred permits before the moratorium took effect.
