[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is no right and wrong for this topic, Just purely personal taste. [/quote]

As a logical person I understand brick vs siding, colors etc... is all taste but when it comes down to square footage and living space EVERYONE can agree a larger newer home is better then living in an 1300 SQRFT bunglo from 1940[/quote]

Not true. If you can't afford to heat such a home like my sis, at this time of year it is not fun.
I would like a larger home BUT it MUST be well built with natural (wood) siding, stone, or brick, true divided light windows, and so on. I can not afford that, so the next best thing is a smaller home with quality materials. If you build with quality, you are looking at $250-300 a square foot. For a 3500 sq foot house it is way out of my range after buying the land. Yes, I would like my house to look good after 200 years like the ones I see in Europe. To get that look, it requires commitment to quality. I will not live to see it, but I can tell while living in it. My BIL lives in a 1971 modern house in NY, built by an architect for his family. The doors and windows are amazing, the flooring is solid, nothing done cheaply.[/quote]

I think unless someone has the opportunity to live in or be a guest in a house that is truly well-built, it's hard to explain why it should be appreciated. So many people, like the pp you quoted, value quantity over quality and builders are only too happy to oblige.[/quote]
