Pretty much what I think of when I hear the term too. 4-5,000 sqft houses in the $750k-1 million range, built by the hundreds in new developments by one builder. Maybe 3-4 different floor plans to choose from but they're all the same house. It's not that the houses are bad or ugly its just that there are a million of them and the people who buy them think they are rich but they aren't. Literally lechnerd's neighborhood from what I've seen.
Ted talk lady said it was normally used as huge and cheaply constructed with no regard for architectural consistency/aesthetics. Big, ugly, and cheap, basically.
I can see the appeal of you're into farming and whatnot. But how many people buying a multi-million dollar home are? In my case I'd have two options and neither appeal to me. One - just maintain what a want to use for a yard and let the rest grow wild and feel like I'm surrounded by jungle. Two - maintain 3-6 acres of this and that's definitely not appealing to me.
If you have enough money to have a multi-million dollar home with kids it would also be neat to be able to have a basketball court or pool or a place to ride 4 wheelers or play paintball/airsoft or shoot archery or maybe a little pond for fishing or a zipline or neat playset or a garden or whatever else. But I'm also not trying to buy a giant house just to try to get my kids to go outside. This obviously all depends on the type of neighborhood you are in.
And if you have enough money to buy a house that costs several million you can probably afford to pay someone to maintain the yard and landscaping.
Please tell me you quit burning religious symbols in your front yard. I cant afford to send you any more money
I would happily live in that Minecraft house and welcome any and all comments on the design of the home. I'd just make you tell them to me as I stood on the back patio looking at the view.
P sure the guy that invented JB Weld built this house. Not terrible looking but they built it right off the fucking interstate in the middle of nowhere, TX https://www.realtor.com/realestatea..._Sulphur-Springs_TX_75482_M73344-83390#photo0
plus it would be fairly easy to smooth out the roof line and add some shutters on the front and a balcony or two on the back to give it some character. if nobody else wants it I'll take one for the team
This is top notch staging. Perhaps you could watch TV or have intimate conversations in the harshly lit basement utility room of a house big enough for two theaters.
Yeah, I could tell that was way off and people who argued with me (cough, cough Oranjello) should feel really stupid.
After being duped by a former employer into moving from NYC to Dallas, despising the city and moving away as quickly as I could, I take every opportunity I can to shit on Dallas. Especially after a bourbon or two, as was the case last night. I wasn't arguing with or against you. It was a poorly communicated effort to make fun of Dallas.
I was just fucking with you. As it turns out, that's an incredible home and has no business ITT: https://www.dallasnews.com/business...estate-sells-to-prominent-local-family-trust/
local lore says that there's a statue near the back of the property known as the "Statue of Rape" because young over-privileged fratzy's used to take their dates on walks to it and then take advantage of them so there's that
This is a home near me that I'm 90% sure houses a few family's of gypsies https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/925-Randol-Mill-Ave-Southlake-TX-76092/249896723_zpid/
All the lots in our subdivision are at least 2 acres w some as large as 6 (and our home definitely isn’t a multimillion dollar house). It’s awesome. There’s tons of privacy. No one is blocking anyone else’s view. You can throw a party past midnight or mow your lawn at the crack of dawn and no one gives a shit. There’s plenty of room for kids and pets to run and play. The lots are too big for Residential zoning and have to be Ag or Rural, so you can do whatever you want w your property but still be on city utilities. It’s small enough that you can see your neighbors anytime you feel like it or need help. The only downside is you pay a bit more (although not as much as you’d think), and you can’t live in a city center. I’ve never heard of subdivisions that require you to completely landscape multiple acres. I’m sure they’re out there, but I can’t imagine it’s the norm. Our HOA covenants explicitly encourage you to leave as much of your lot as you want natural so the neighborhood doesn’t look too overdeveloped.
