I personally wouldn't buy one of those homes but let me enlighten you to look past your judgment of the development. First, these homes sell within a week of posting well over list. But more importantly this is a really nice family area. People say hi to each other when out for a walk. They host neighborhood picnics during non covid times. For the most part people take pride in their ownership. There is sense of community here. So before you start slamming it as an ugly example of urbanism, try and remember it is home to many proud families that actually like it.....
That’s good to hear. What I would say is it proves that good communities can exist even in areas with terrible architecture. Just for clarity, I was criticizing only the architecture, not the people; and not even the people for choosing to live there. As someone with a built-in heated garage with a garage door opener, I absolutely love having it, so I would effectively be partially criticizing myself. But there are places with that same convenience that have much better appearance, and there are places with detached homes where the spaces between the houses have some use.
