[quote=Anonymous]People definitely have their anger misplaced blaming builders. They're in it to make money, not doing it as a charity. Is it unfortunate that these monstrosities are built on tiny lots? Yes, I agree, but ultimately if that's what people want, so be it.

Are all the craftsman style houses sprouting up everywhere in Vienna getting tiresome? Sure, but ultimately that's the market, and if enough people get sick of them builders will have to cut prices to move them.

I'm no fan of a lot of new builds, but ultimately the economics (building a bigger house has higher margins) is what it is, and I can't fault builders.

I think I'm not a huge fan of new builds because I think many are overpriced (not to mention the other reasons mentioned previously), but obviously people don't agree as they're selling. Ultimately the high end of the market is what most homebuilders serve these days, and it makes sense. If/when the market ever cools down, we'll see more modest builds becoming more common. Until then, it is what it is. Markets move like pendulums. Right now the stock market is booming and DC area real estate is expensive (yes, I think it's overpriced and I'm a homeowner), but it is what it is.[/quote]
