Hold on - THAT ^^^ is a deal breaker for you?  [/quote]

PP isn't the only one! I HATE TVs over the fireplace. And we watch enough TV that not having someplace else to put it would make this if not a dealbreaker, a real downside.

Lack of sidewalks and/or not walkable would be an actual dealbreaker for me. Walking is my main form of exercise and it's how I decompress, and not being able to step out my door and walk would make me miserable.[/quote]

+1 hate it! You have to look up so high, it’s uncomfortable. And the TV has to be really small. Plus it looks so tacky.[/quote]

No it doesn’t. It’s 2021. Ppl watch TV. Big deal[/quote]

That's the point - I like watching TV and I want the TV to have a good place to go, where it'll be enjoyable to watch. I don't want it to feel like I just stuck it in the only available spot and who cares if it's uncomfortable and ugly there.

We actually live on a busy street - yeah I know - but have a nice quiet room in the back where we have some comfortable couches, and the TV at eye level for when we're sitting on them. I enjoy the privacy of not watching TV in a room in the front of the house - I don't like feeling on display when we're vegging out - and I like that we can look straight ahead, not up, to watch.

I'm sure you get used to staring above the fireplace! I just don't like it, and a house would have to be pretty fantastic for me to get that setup.[/quote]

I hate it too.  And I hate that our recently purchased house has an HDMI port above it.  We were able to hide it with a mirror but it was tough to find.

I love a good fireplace and I want the mantle to be seasonally decorated and cozy.  A TV does not do that[/quote]
