[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old house lover here. I think the two crowds here are misunderstanding each other due to a definitional difference alluded by recent PPs. I would bet that people that say love old homes mean pre-ww2 homes. I find homes built between the 1940s and the 1979s to be generally terrible, and I would very much prefer to live in a newer home than in those older ones. [/quote] Agree. I'm an old-home lover who grew up in Georgetown and now live on the Hill. I find the post WWII housing to be mostly ghastly. New construction can be great, but too often it comes in Stepford-ish subdivisions or grotesquely outsized homes on teeny lots. Not to mention the cheap, builder-grade finishings.[/quote] People need to get over the "finishes" Do you realize that old home had builder grade finishes before years of updating? In fact the builder grade finishes of today are much better than those of pre ww2.[/quote]
