[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugly can be a state of mind and it describes a large percentage of DCUM posters - unhappy and frequently over-educated (but low-performing) types who constantly look for excuses to vent their insecurities by looking for new opportunities to tell others "you're not all that," whether it comes to their homes, towns, colleges and universities, or other topics.

It gives them a quick dopamine hit when someone responds, but it doesn't last very long so they have to move on and find something else to complain about or attack.

The only one who really benefits is the owner of this forum, who has found a way to monetize the insecurities of area residents.   [/quote]

Facts, except for the low-performing part, given that many people here are actually high income or come from a wealthy lineage.

That being said, McLean and Great Falls and Potomac is still full of ugly, tasteless McMansions of questionable architectural style. Yes you can find these many places, but the three above areas are particularly concentrated with them. Why is this? Again, places like New Canaan, wealthy boston surburbs, etc don't have these houses to the same degree. Whats the deal here? It's an honest, and fair question and I frankly don't understand why it's such an offense to ask why.[/quote]

New houses in New Canaan, CT and Newton, MA look like new houses built in McLean, Great Falls, Potomac, and Bethesda (the latter of which you omit from your list, for reasons that are unclear).

It mostly comes down to preferring older houses, combined with assumptions made about those buying newer houses and resentment towards those able to afford them.

We could always start threads about unattractive older houses in some random Mid-Atlantic and New England suburbs to level the playing field.  The majority of houses in those areas are nothing particularly special, but they might make you feel better because they are clearly less expensive and/or in WASP enclaves. [/quote]
