False. Your vinyl crap house with 2 car garage front and center, full of mdf and builder grade everything is objectively awful and probably makes you feel low grade ill all the time. [/quote]

Nailed it. DC has an inordinate amount of these plastic homes. [/quote]

DC proper is a rowhome city with residential areas that have quite a few nice older homes.  Most of DC suburbia was built midcentury with car usage in mind, utilitarian midcentury construction is undoubtedly ugly regardless if it's SFHs or residential boxy towers with small windows and drab brick exteriors.  It was just the times when lots of fugly housing was built.  The cities that experienced rapid growth during that time will have a huge inventory of that housing stock.  Even Manhattan has tons of it.  If you want quaint, then you need to go into the older city cores where historical preservation required owners to restore old homes vs. building new facades.

I am very familiar with CA.  Lots of ugly housing which is made prettier simply by dramatic hilly terrain and different color paint.  :lol: [/quote]
