[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Can someone tell me why so many people are always surprised (or even upset) when they see a large new home built in Arlington, Falls Church, McLean... in a neighborhood that was built between 1930-1955?[/quote] Because these 6,000sf houses on 7,000sf lots are all out of proportion for the neighborhood/lot size? And it usually means tearing up old landscaping (cutting down beautiful old oak trees)? and the giant modern farmhouses are an eyesore? I feel like if you want to build a monster house you should have the decency to do it up in 22207 and not come down to 22201 and squeeze one onto a tiny lot.[/quote] And let’s not forget that these monstrosities also disrupt sloping and grading and often cause drainage issues for surrounding properties.[/quote]
