Houses

1. If you live in the countryside (n). Plural of house. A dwelling, domicile, or place where people live.

2. If you live in a big city (n). Public housing. Places with the term "houses" affixed to them are typically known as projects; the term is applied to them in a feeble attempt to make them to seem more desirable.
Many times, these will be named after famous minorities.

1. Look at those houses over yonder hill.
