Grid layouts are Communism. We gotta have half a dozen single family developments inside of the base with at least two golf courses. That's how we preserve The American Way: Highly stratified housing and real estate scams.

Barracks are large buildings with many rooms, and that's far more sensible than whatever's happening here.

This is where they stick you if you're low-rank and have a spouse.

edit: actually... fuck maybe these are barracks? With like six rooms each? idk they look like cookie cutter houses to me, the kind that get designated as not suitable for habitation when the land gets handed back over to a civilian authority.

Yeah I did an enlistment in the national guard in a lib part of my life, I'm fairly certain those are barracks. Something like four rooms each with 30 bunks, so 120ish soldiers per building, which is how they justify all the parking. For reference here's a barracks on another base, note the same drab environment, large parking lot, and long sidewalks to the front doors:

The buildings in your example are much larger though. Compare them to the size of the parking spaces.
