Half the homes posted aren't mcmansions at all, simply normal larger, newer houses.

Plunked down in a neighborhood of much smaller houses, with scant thought given to how they relate to other homes in the neighborhood.

McMansions.

Don't be silly. No one builds new construction in PH trying to fit in with the original stock.

Few do, which is one reason why it's such an unsightly mess now.

There are many reasons why PH is unpretty right now, but new construction is actually not one of them. If you build in PH, you aren't exactly trying to fit in with streetfuls of stately if slightly worn Victorians. New construction there doesn't look like old. That's a good thing.

What you don't seem to appreciate is that some types of newer, larger homes fit in better with the existing homes than other types. The failure to recognize this is why it is so incredibly ugly today and will remain so in the future.

I would rather have a neighborhood full of new homes than old and new mixed. Perhaps that will happen with PH because it's very easy and affordable to remove the original houses. I prefer the look of new developments with all new home but closer in they don't exist because people are hanging on to the old homes due to the high cost of living.

If I am building a home why should I care about what other people think, it's my house and I will make it how I see fit!

What I don't seem to appreciate is the style of existing homes in PH. You're right. I don't appreciate it. And neither do any of the new construction owners there.

You know why?

Because of two things:

a. It's ugly, and

b. It's disappearing.

So why would one work to fit in with it?

Because the older houses are still the vast majority of the housing stock and will be around longer than you recognize.

The sooner we get rid of them the better most of these homes are the "Mc" mass produced lower income tract homes of yesteryear.

If your home is a historic civil war era that general grant lived and died in then please don't tear it down but 99% are not.

Exhibit A for why Pimmit Hills attracts people with limited budgets or larger budgets but no taste. It is what it is, but it's certainly not very nice. Could you at least do this quietly and stop posting on a forum for those with urban sensibilities?

This be america and that's american freedom. Taste is subjective, I don't rain shit on your old home parade get the f off mine.

Ha ha. Takoma Park declared itself a nuclear-free zone. Maybe Pimmit Hills could incorporate and declare itself a taste-free zone.

Not really because taste is subjective and not a hard measure of whether something is true or false. You can measure whether nuclear or radioactive material is present or not.

Now your stupidity can be measured by IQ and HHI.

The ban in Takoma Park went far beyond engaging in the development or testing of nuclear weapons within the town limits, so your comment again shows your ignorance. You have previously demonstrated your complete lack of taste.

The rocking panda needs a dunce cap from now on.

If all the rude transplants in "the district" or "the city" and takoma park would just return to all of their respective hometowns to annoy those residents instead of washingtonians like myself as you obviously front on here ( u may leave on foot if a walkable, green experience is preferred, or by bicycle), my DCUM experience would be so much happier.

Taste may be subjective but most people would agree Pimmit Hills is an ugly dump and the cheap McMansions just add to the horror.
