[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate developments with 3-4 different models.  I hate the glaring uniformity.  They look cheap and like tract housing.  I hate the mixed media--faux stone mixed with partial brick and siding.  I hate new developments with no trees (or just planted baby trees).

I don't hate new homes per se..or even larger ones.  There are a few really beautiful new homes (knockdowns) in our old neighborhood. I like 'tasteful', quality ones.

I do have a preference for old homes, historic that have been renovated inside.

I would never want a huge home because I seriously do not need or covet such space.  My under 3,000foot home ~2800 is perfect for us with space leftover.  It is also a testament to design and how the previous owners renovated to get the most out of the space.

I find overly large homes lonely unless you have a really big family living there. [b] All that empty space, little family interaction since people are spread to different wings[/b].  I also like being close to walk to everything and so I don't spend a great deal of time inside if I can help it.[/quote]

Is this just what you think happens?  Or have you lived in a sizable house for an extended period of time in order to witness this?[/quote]
