[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all would probably hate my house.  DW and I work in the suburbs, so we have a new-built (to us in 2006) McMansion type house out in the suburbs.  Commute is 20 minutes for us, but we couldn't be happier.  We like our new house and the amenities.  We love the fact that we could design in many features that we wanted and loved and didn't have to live with the choices some other homeowner made 100 years ago.  Houses with "character" are cute, but that often means that they're small, or older and in need of some repair, or cost more per sq ft than we wanted to pay.  I'm glad you all love your homes, but I also like mine.  I'm not sure why there is so much vitriol here for a home you don't have to live in, but if you want to live your life with so much "hate", have at it.  Fortunately, we didn't buy your house with character and you didn't buy our house, or there would have been two very unhappy families.[/quote]

+1 I completely agree. I despise older home layouts, they don't make sense anymore. No walk ins (did they wear more than 1 set of clothes back then?), segmented rooms (did everyone want to be contained away from each other, did everyone have servants making food while guests dined in the dining room), Tiny bathrooms, no garage (did the horse drawn carriage not fit in one?), no insulation (was energy so cheap you could burn it at will without running up the bills), radiant heating blah (wastes tons of living spaces at the edge of each room), low ceilings (were people short back then), huge useless front yards (did everyone hang out in the front yard back then) the list can go on... I want to start a new thread "what i hate about older homes pre-1990s"[/quote]
