Not everyone can afford or even values owning the residential equivalent of a faberge egg. Houses in California have been ugly forever anyway except those of really rich people. Houses are ugly, to varying degrees of course, unless you have a ton of money and want to spend it there. I do agree that poximity of the big houses and lack of variety too, makes them even uglier. I have an ugly house but the space around kind of fixes it up a little.
I see house as a replacement for a cave so I don’t even know why we care.Just kidding,sort of…December 15, 2007 at 5:31 PM #118160NotCrankyParticipantNot everyone can afford or even values owning the residential equivalent of a faberge egg.

They’re just plain and boring although the more expensive they get, the better looking. Every now and then, I’ll go into a new home development and find a charming home that speaks to me. That is what I’ll be buying when I buy my home, and I plan to buy new. There was one home I saw a couple years back that had a fireplace in the bedroom situated in a “curved wall”. Unique features like that are what I’ll be looking for.

December 16, 2007 at 9:06 AM #11823634f3f3fParticipantA lot of these homes seem designed for a catalogue …they look impressive on the front page of a glossy, but viewed up close they lack warmth and character. If they last a 100 years, and weather-in, who knows perhaps they’ll be sought after. I don’t agree that the more expensive homes are necessarily more beautiful. High price tags and people with the money to match are sometimes the only things that do match in that relationship. I am always struck by how beautiful areas are sometimes completely ruined by sprawling eye sores. Much of the French Riviera springs to mind, whereas the Italians have always been very strict. They’d rather let something fall down than replace it is with …how shall say, modern progress. But let’s face it charm, character, warmth, and community are not on everyone’s list of priorities, more’s the pity.
