[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lyon Village is the worst.  It was built as a "village" of modest homes and dense streets.  The McMansions have completely destroyed the scale there.         [/quote]

I agree.  I bought a house in LV in 2008 and I am so pissed at what is being done to our neighborhood and how the h*ll the homeowner's association isn't doing something!

They just mow down a house and then build a frickin' gigantic 7 bedroom McMansion on a postage stamp lot.  There is one looming in my backyard.

This used to be a gorgeous neighborhood.  There were a few tasteful additions/renovations but just in the last year it has gotten horrible with several 6k sq foot ridiculous looking monstrosities.  I think the neigborhood has gotten so flooded with $$$$$ (these new homes are going for aroudn $2million and the median price is now $1.3 million) that nothing is being done to preserve or put limits on construction.  I have never lived in an area like this.  I came from a very historic DC neighborhood where you couldn't even change the paint color of your shutters without a two year assessment process.

I think this neighborhood has the absolute best location in the entire DC region in terms of walkability, nightlife, public schools, proximity to DC, fun families, tons of kids, etc. which is the reason I'm here (and I guess why all of these others are too).  However, I am worried about where this is going.  Stop f*cking with the neighborhood..please![/quote]
