[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No sympathy for these builders who are building 20,000 monstrosities to sell to foreign governments and foreigners as their 5th home and hogging land and increasing housing costs for people who actually WORK here.

Joy was building houses that got bought by law firm partners, doctors, and tech and trade association executives - all American.  Like every other builder in the area, it seemed like the size of the houses was always getting bigger.

They were hated for building houses that occupy most of the lot and for chopping down trees supposedly unnecessarily.  I remember seeing the name of this builder in various Nexdoor posts..  I don't think other builders are any different though, the houses that would occupy most of the lot would not leave any of the previous front yard foliage unscathed. [/quote]

The fussy old people living in small houses in every inner suburb, whether it’s Arlington, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, or McLean, specialize in whining about removed trees because it’s more sympathetic than just admitting they don’t like change of any sort.  [/quote]

You seem to be skilled in whining yourself.  Businesses that change the way people live to make the most profit while lowering QOL of the surrounding community members will naturally meet resistance and develop bad reputation.  Happens every time and for different reasons. Whining about this doesn't help.

LOL.  First-world problems call for first-world whining about your QOL.  [/quote]

I get it,  1%-er problems wanting to squeeze 10k sq.ft into the lots designed for houses 1/3 of that size are the priority.  :lol: [/quote]
