[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quality new builds are great.

Here’s what’s not great:

-building right next to freeway entrance ramps, gas stations, medical clinics, etc.

-faux stone in front and siding wraparounds.

-Ornate columns that look picked off the set of a Monty Python film that you use to hold up your sheet metal pediment.

-Stupidly selected landscaping that looks terrible and will die soon (palm trees??? Really????).

-Giant trash castles that are finished in bargain-basement builders’ crap.  The quantity over quality places.

-No yards because of monstrosity footprints.  Who wants green space when you can breathe plastic composites and cement board fiber all day!?

-Inability to be harmonious with the surroundings.  Your faux French castle might look good in France.  It looks bad bad bad on a .25 acre lot next to WWI shacks.

-[b]Foyers with stupid compass designs inlaid in the floor.  I don’t care what direction North is, where is the bathroom?  You’re not Christopher Columbus and the foyer isn’t setting out to discover new lands.[/b]

-Oddly shaped and dissimilar windows and dormers that look like they were all bought from different liquidation sales and stuck onto your house to be fancy.

-That disgusting chalk-colored pink brick that makes it look like your house is crying.

-Coffered ceilings in rooms where they don’t make sense.[/quote]

Lol.  I haven't seen this before, is this a thing?[/quote]
