[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate that all of the new builds in our neighborhood are enormously gigantic.  They tower over every other house and take up every inch of the lot, so much so they cause other houses to flood.

If new builds were 4,000 sq feet with a backyard instead of 8,000 sq feet with no yard, I'd like them so much more.  Right now I have a strong preference for older houses with well done additions.  They tend to be around the 4,000 sq ft and keep the backyard, but aren't as small as the 2,000 sq ft original builds.[/quote]

+3. The only thing I dislike is that a teardown turns into a gigantic home that becomes unaffordable for average people.[/quote]

+4. Our neighborhood was built so that the houses compliment the mature trees in the area. We chose to put an addition on and now have just over 3000 sq.  It is plenty for our family of 5. The tear downs are very tall and compete with the trees as well as being poorly designed from an architectural standpoint.  OTOH I am married to an architect so I have been well trained to see design now ;)[/quote]
