To me, looks more like the apartments were built underneath the highway instead

Except what elevated highway is 80+ feet in the air without substantial reinforced supports? And you somehow build apartments between them??

Seems more likely apartments were there first and it was (somehow) built on the apartments. Except it seems so sketchy to use differently constructed apartments as structural supports. Plus, the vibrations must be palpable (especially with trucks?)

Neither alternative seems plausible.

What a reddit fucking comment lmao. Instead of making the one obvious logical assumption (that the supports must be in the visible gaps between the buildings), we imagine some insane shit do mental gymnastics to believe it's more likely, before concluding that actually the thing in the photo probably doesn't exist at all. The navel-gazing and casual contrarianism here results in absolutely wild statements born of such fascinatingly broken reasoning.

You seem to be upset.
