So every house with a front-loading garage and cosmetic shutters is tacky, in your opinion?  That's fine, I suppose, to each his own.  I just think it's a nice house, I don't really understand what makes it less attractive than the little boxes in Arlington and Alexandria and elsewhere.[/quote]

I really hate large garages out front. That may be my own weird and unique prejudice and I can admit it. Hey, I grew up in a house like that, and spent many happy hours practicing my tennis serve against those garage doors.

[b]But the shutters.... I don't care that they're non-functional. I'm not creeping up to see if they actually have hinges on 'em. But if they're supposed to be "cosmetic", doesn't that imply "attractive"? Why this resistance to at least making them look like they could possibly fit the window to which they're attached?[/b]

You might have a thing against short women in skinny jeans. Or bald guys with combovers. Or poodles in show cut. I have a captial-T Thing against bad architecture. And just like you would go all wide-eyed and incredulous if the combover guy stated "No one can tell I'm bald!", I react that way when people say they "like" the looks of these sloppily designed houses.

Exactly.  Unfortunately, quite a few posters here have no clue about the concept of architecturally correct.[/quote]

Who gives a shit, I would rather have a lot of room for my young kids to run around and play over a tiny architecturally perfect house.[/quote]
