My favorite style of suburban house is mid century modern with sliding glass doors.
Those were “invented” in California. That’s what we should go back to.[/quote]
MCM have their problems. Flat roofs leak and the large amount of glass is not very energy efficient.
While i would agree the west popularized the MCM style, I’m not sure saying it was invented here is quite accurate. It is largely based on Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian houses from the 1930s that were designed and built in the midwest.
