[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because a lot of them are cheaply and quickly built monstrosities?  If you can afford a truly custom home - from the site work to the planning and design to the finishes - more power to you.  But I was appalled at the sloppy site prep and poor quality of the new build neighborhoods we toured...not to mention the fact that they all seemed to prioritize square footage over livable design or *gasp* a yard...[/quote]

+1  All the new builds I see look the same.  Big, ugly McCraftsmans in the same shade of blue with the smallest possible lawn.  It's like people who buy those homes fear greenery.[/quote]

+2  I don't like the enormous house on the small lot.  And they all look the same inside.[/quote]

Except that most posters who spew this kind of crap 1.) will never live in a new home and 2.) do their own shoddy DIY for their add-ons. Which is fine, but don't hate on what you can't have, just because you can't have it. [/quote]

Incorrect.  Some of us don't want it even though we can afford it. I need a yard.

Always with the "you're just jealous".  Lamest possible response to someone disagreeing with you.[/quote]

+1  We bought a more expensive house that had a tasteful smaller home and a beautiful yard instead of a huge ugly newer home with no backyard.    We have kids, and one of the big benefits of living in the suburbs is for them to have room to run around outside.[/quote]

You bought a more expensive smaller home? For a big yard to kids to play in?

You sound like you have 1 kid who's an infant. Once a kid hits 5, they don't want to be limited to their yard.

But glad you have an excuse to justify your expensive purchase. [/quote]
