That's not supersized. They get a pass, they didn't spend huge amounts of money to make it ugly. They don't have the money to make it pretty.

And which category this one will fit in?

And let's show some love for beautiful Arlington while we're at it.

Nothing to do with family or even living there. It is about investment.

Here is one for sale on Walker Rd., it's a McMansion with a bonus house, or maybe it's a town-McMansion-house.

It makes me angry to see lions and eagles on lawns, especially if they are painted in colors. Where's the HOA when you need them?

That's what I'm talkin' about! These houses are coming up like weeds.


What do you mean? How is this new? Where exactly are the NEW ones you are talking about? We already know about the ones you mentioned. Old news.


I'd am surprised that anyone is building in Great Falls right now since its value seems to be dropping precipitously. But they are. Things like this:

Ooof.


The U.S. has become a corrupt kleptocracy. Ugly houses go with ugly means of making money. Whenever you see one of the places, figure out who lives there. If you understand how money works, this information will frequently make you more ill than the architecture does!

Some people have more money than good taste, but they can afford to hire an architect with vision. Why don't they leave design to a talented professional?


Isn't it surprising how people like different things?

What's weird is you posting here as if you assume everyone will see things your way.


You must be new to DCUM, where that is not weird at all. Welcome aboard!
