Didn't your mother ever tell you not to bother people with more money than you?

Gosh, no wonder you people don't get ahead. No brains. None.


You really don't understand the concept of "public domain" do you? When you put a house listing up and allow an agent to post photos for the listing via the MLS, those photos of your house enter the public domain. The simplistic version is that as long as the person who uses those photos is not making financial profit on the use of those photos, there is nothing you can do about them using it. There are no libelous damages that are incurred for describing some property as hideous.

Any actionable damages for the use of these photos is merely in your head.

I think the old adage quote from Abraham Lincoln applies to you: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."


Not all of these photos are from MLS, Einstein.

Is this your house crazy person?


Interesting. I found the blog where this house had been posted years ago.

The blogger was a minister-in-training who railed at length against various things he didn't like for several years until he realized it was a waste of time and energy. His blog had exactly one follower.

Think about it.

Ooooh, I totally want to see this happen.

Please tell me how, exactly, you think this will happen. Like, what potential charges? How will they find the posters, to serve them? How will they prove damages? I'm DYING to know.



You are too stupid to figure it out. Far be it from me to explain it to you.



Please. I didn't even bother with all the other stupid things you said in your post. (People who have McMansions have more money than people who don't? Mothers routinely instruct children not to mock the rich? People who make snarky comments on the internet are people who "don't get ahead"?) It is just one giant ball of crazy.

Now, moving into certain neighborhoods with overly large houses, often a mishmash of every architectural style seen in the last 1,000 years, is a very good reason to move back to the city. Or a good argument for moving into a suburb with a strong hoa.

P.S. Love, love, love the term "snout house".



So the suburbs still have more light, fresh air, sunshine and superior schools, compared to DC.

People will move to a city when it's a vibrant, creative, 24-hour environment, not an overgrown snotty village, which is all the District has become.

I know of some in close in neighborhoods who have seen their taxes double in the last few years due to the addition of outsized houses.





The answer is easy: Live where you can afford to live. Maybe the new house owners don't appreciate your irrational rants about the inevitable.

Death and taxes, baby.

Only a handful of areas in DC offers architectural distinction or consistency of any sort. You don't actually mean "the city". You mean only very limited certain parts of the city.
