[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an architect and I just want to clarify a few things:

- the new builds people on here are talking about are in most cases extremely well constructed and energy efficient. The giant behemoth often uses less energy than much smaller '40's house.

- the ugliness is often not the architects fault. Often we will draw something proportionally correct only to have the developer change everything until it's a whitetrash monstrosity

- I personally believe neighbors should live and let live. Worry about your own house/yard and MYOB[/quote]

Good luck with that.  The old home owners really hold a grudge.  Of course, they would not admit it. No way would I ever move into a new house next to an old house, after what my friend went through.  I ended up moving to a neighborhood with all new homes, because the old house owner next door to my friend was so bitter and conniving to her for no reason, other than the new house's mere existence.  The old house owner couldn't take it any more and cracked.

In fact, the old house owner cut down more trees (PP mentioned new house owners cutting down trees?) than my friend did - my friend planted trees!  Just one example.  I am hoping my friend moves closer to me soon, when she can afford it.

As far as the energy use, it should be common sense that new houses are more efficient and advanced.  But really, (architect PP) you, are banging your head against a wall trying to explain anything to those in a state of denial and paranoia over the new houses.

New houses are here to stay.  Get over it.
