[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't like is that all new builds are McMansions or multifamily units.  You don't see starter homes being built any longer and that sucks.[/quote]

I think in my neighborhood, you get a bit of started home new buils, but they are all townhomes, so I am not sure if you consider that multifamily units. Plus, they are 700K still, so not really a starter for most people. Well, at least not for me!

I like new builds from the concept that everything is new and shiny and it be nice to have all of that. I don't like that because they often don't have any yards (at least when we are talking about the ones in Arlington). I would much rather have a 2K square foot house with a nice yard than a 5K square foot house with no yard. I just don't get why they all have to be SOOO big, it isn't like most people here have 6 kids or anything. I guess people just like a lot of space. [/quote]

We had a big yard and with the DC winters, swamp like summers and mosquitoes we didn't use it that much.[/quote]

I guess I am different. We have a yard, not huge, but still there. We hang out there almost every day as soon as it is not freezing till November. But my kid loves the outdoors and we use bug spray. [/quote]
