[quote=Anonymous]I'm not opposed to people building new houses. I sometimes wish they weren't all so big but the truth is land is so expensive that when the time comes to build a new house everyone-- whether developer or homeowner-- decides it makes more sense to build a 5/6 BR house that will be worth $1.5 million +, rather than a 3/4 BR house than will be worth $1 million. Also, builders know what they can get approved when building from scratch-- if you go in and ask for a big renovation permits can actually take a lot longer/be more likely to get kicked back. The county council did adopt some rules a few years ago to try and keep houses from getting too tall but it was after a lot of the turnover occurred in my neighborhood. [/quote]
