[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These lists of pros and cons are helpful and illuminating to me, and helps me understand why people do buy there.  For example, I do not care about SFH (and in fact, prefer TH over SFH for the yard/maintenance factor) so that wouldn't be a check in the plus column for me, to counterbalance the minuses.  But I can see if people do want this, and that is fine, that this is a reason why they opt for PH.

I myself do continually drive down there periodically to check it out for myself after reading these posts, thinking, "Is there something I'm missing?  Is it better yet?"  Since I don't care about the SFH>TH issues, and a few other things, I myself feel more "bogged down" by the cons, such as the overall aesthetics.  I found myself yesterday thinking, "What IS it with chain link and this neighborhood?  What IS it?  Was there a massive sale and everyone in the neighborhood all got it at the same time?   This neighborhood needs an HOA to standardize these things."  But then again, I realize some people don't like the militarism and homogeneity of HOAs, so I realize they may think my HOA TH devt is < than their PH home!  :)

For the record, I live in a fairly swank NW DC neighborhood:  there are still two homes with chain link fences around most of their lots.  Two neighbors on our block discovered a chain link between their two fences when one was being replaced.  Easy to figure out which homeowner had put up the first wooden fence to mask the chain link by the age of the fences (neither bordering neighbor lived there at time).  We all speculated that the original neighbors could not come to an agreement on a mutual fence, so one just went forward with the wood to mask the chain link.  [/quote]
