No, seriously... Is this a joke? Someone admits to liking this mishmash of architectural styles and having HALF your frontage be [i]garage[/i]? Do you put your toilet in the living room, too? I mean, I know you have to have one (or three, or whatever) but WHY would you want to put it out front and center??? Painful. [/quote]

Oh, for shame!  The tackiness, the tackiness!  Where do you live?  Have you not noticed that most lots are too small to put the garage anywhere other than the front?  Yeah, it's less than preferable but I'd rather have a garage anyway.  [/quote]

So you get it! [b]The lots are too small. [/b] Also, it's one thing to have to put up with ugliness for the sake of necessity ("need" a garage, admit that it sucks to have it represent half your frontage), it's another thing entirely to claim that you love that look. That's like saying "I think I look best when my $350 honey blond salon job grows out and shows at least two inches of salt and pepper."

Sorry, but I have to: LOOK AT THE SHUTTERS!!! I am literally, no joke, giggling madly looking at those shutters. Some poor soul went to architecture school, wept at the beauty of classical, mathematical design, marveled at the sheer balls of Wren and Wright and Pei, and then said "eh, it doesn't matter if we put the same size shutters on all the windows, even the one that is half the width of the others." Ok, now I'm not giggling anymore, I'm actually really sad for that guy. [/quote]

So every house with a front-loading garage and cosmetic shutters is tacky, in your opinion?  That's fine, I suppose, to each his own.  I just think it's a nice house, I don't really understand what makes it less attractive than the little boxes in Arlington and Alexandria and elsewhere.[/quote]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, you must be joking. Stop poking the troll people. [/quote]
