I wonder if this is related to the phrase "in shambles"? like "Triton destroyed Ariel's collection. he left the cave in shambles."

theres a second theory as to why they over hang and its because tax would only be calculated on the square footage of the base of the building, so they could pay less tax but have bigger houses by building bigger floors above

The shambles is not a long as you think. You can walk from one end to another in 30 seconds
