I always write a headline on them; sometimes he uses them; sometimes he doesn't. Yep, they're sure lurid: "Council eyes infrastructure updates". Ooooo.
A screen porch would be lovely. Just one more request for the impossible-unicorn Next House.
Hmmm... now that you mention it, I see how that line might be mis-read at first glance.
I looked at the current issue online. I did not see your by-line on the front page (the only page available online). Maybe you need to juice up your headlines!
"The Impossible-Unicorn Next House," huh? Have you ever read the poem "Vagabond's House" by Don Blanding?

Pond Pump Repair
.
Using a Swiss Army Knife and assorted plumbing fittings, Janie repairs the hose connection on a garden pond pump.
(The pump is an Alpine Eco-Sphere, if you're curious about such things. Some cows waded through the pond and broke the hose fitting while doing so, if you're curious about that aspect.)
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
