[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why people hate them so much to the point it becomes some religious or political movement.

I wonder if housing was cheaper around here that there would be less complaining and hate for them.[/quote]

I'm from Main Line Philadelphia and certainly have an appreciation for large estates privately commissioned and built with quality materials. Nothing against a proper mansion, but those are rarely built in this country anymore and certainly not in Washington. Unless we are talking Wesley Heights, what you are referring to as a "mansion" is cheap dry wall over wood frame covered with brick facade ( 1/2 of a brick placed to look like a brick over cinder blcok or some other cheep garbage). "stone overlay over cinder block" . It looks and feels dead and is absolutely hideous. Developers throw this garbage up and try to maximally extract as much capital out of the land. In 25 years its full of mold and half falling down…..but heck, the " developer" has made a quick buck.

So, to restate, no one is against a beautiful home, but they aren't being built.
