Now and then, I get so fed up with all this Alaskan snow and winter crap, that I start looking at real estate listings in warmer western states. The problem is--West Coast home construction.
Why aren't people standing up to these nasty builders? Plopping down boring, beige, bland ubiquitous homes--painted with drab paint, stuffed full of grey tiles and really crappy siding? They are so dull to look at, that I freak out, shut down the computer and actually enjoy the snow for five minutes.
Where I grew up (on the East Coast) it was a sign of class and status that your fancy house looked nothing like your neighbors! The better the neighborhood--the more unique the construction!! Nobody in their right mind would prance around bragging they had "all neutral colors." No, you had boxy modern homes, tudor and brick, all nestled next to each other. At the very least, people actually painted their homes--green, yellow, dark red. For crying out loud, when will people grow "some" and dare to be a tiny bit different?? Stand up folks! And "just say no to beige!"
