It gives them a quick dopamine hit when someone responds, but it doesn't last very long so they have to move on and find something else to complain about or attack.

The only one who really benefits is the owner of this forum, who has found a way to monetize the insecurities of area residents.

Facts, except for the low-performing part, given that many people here are actually high income or come from a wealthy lineage.

That being said, McLean and Great Falls and Potomac is still full of ugly, tasteless McMansions of questionable architectural style. Yes you can find these many places, but the three above areas are particularly concentrated with them. Why is this? Again, places like New Canaan, wealthy boston surburbs, etc don't have these houses to the same degree. Whats the deal here? It's an honest, and fair question and I frankly don't understand why it's such an offense to ask why.

The debate on this thread is pointless.
Some people think modern and contemporary houses are unattractive, while others really like them. Similarly, some people view traditional homes as ugly, but there are those who appreciate them. You don't have any authority to decide what is ugly or lacking in taste. What you see as ugly might be seen as beautiful by someone else.
