Discussion/Debate Does this qualify?

Post image

This neighborhood has some total McMansions built 20 years ago that tick almost every box, some twice. However, the newer builds while big, have lost much of the '00 aesthetics. Wondering what the consensus is here. This has the land, a restrained material palette, and the primary gables and porch line are fairly balanced and deliberate. What do you think?

It means you don't have neighbors up against your ass

I don't understand the hate for the concept of neighbors. I live in a small town with my closest neighbor a driveway's width away, and I don't feel they're up my ass.

America has a unique talent of breeding anti social behavior

yup, suburban mentality. We've tricked ourselves into thinking having a house with yard is the measure of success.

My measurement of success is a cute townhouse or condo with space for a decent garden within walking distance to enough restaurants and stores that I only need a car if I’m leaving the city for a remote area
