[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an architect and I generally find that the opposition to new development comes from small, bitter, jealous people. I can't fathom having nothing better to do with one's time than attempting to squash some other family's dream. Live and let live. [/quote]

Perhaps, it's when you put a house ill-fitted on a lot too small and a home not keeping with the character of the neighborhood.

The assumption that anybody that does not like your work or can't afford it is completely pompous.

It's a certain type that comes into a neighborhood with no regard for neighbors and builds something 3 times the size, casting shadows on everything around it.

It's like ' come look at my wife's new DD fake tits".

To assume others can't afford it is such a back ass, ignorant way to think.

I don't mind the tasteful new construction and much is an improvement over what was there before.

To be frank, I know many people in my neighborhood that made fabulous renovations of an existing structure that cost more to do than the massive, glaring Mansion.  It's often cheaper to knock down then restore.
