There's been a bit of banter here about the old vs. the new. I've
definitely got a preference for older homes (pre WWII) partly because
they aren't ugly or gaudy looking from the street. Of course,
architectural style preferences are personal (Mediterranean suits me.)
But in any style, there was certainly a lot more thought and attention
given to craftsmanship - in design and execution - "back in the day."
So I gave it a little thought and it didn't take long to figure out my
biggest complaint: Who the hell decided that the most prominent feature
of a home ought to be the fucking garage? Sure, nobody built two car
garages back in 1935, but the ones they did build were put behind the
house, or pushed way back relative to the front of the house.
Now the big ugly wart of a garage sticks way out in front and it doesn't
matter what the architectural style of the house is, the garage just
plain destroys it.
Is it just me that is appalled by that?
