HOW MANY HOMES MUST DIE?

Take a ride thru the classic old suburbs, with there unique and classical cozy homes. Each a piece of art, no two alike for blocks on end. Most of us would be thrilled, just to walk inside of them and feel what a real home should be like.
They are not the cookie press tracts they throw up these days. Even sober, one would have a hard time distinguishing one house from the other.
Then along come the overpaid yuppies, with their, my bling is bigger then your bling attitude and begin to tear down these homes. Some aren't happy with the destruction of one and go as far as two and even three homes. They build gargantuan monstrosities that stick out like sore thumbs along side these cottage like homes, destroying the serenity of these beautiful old neighborhoods.
I don't begrudge them their houses. But why destroy something, when there are plenty of areas where they could play their bling games with their ilk.
These are the same morons that protest the destruction of the environment, yet they are the biggest causes of it. The material that goes into the construction and just the heating and cooling of them.
So if you don't have urinary or bowel problems, do you really need six or more bathrooms. And if your not planning on playing indoor polo, do you need all that excessive square footage?

Not to mention the horrid sight of putty or beige houses everywhere. Neutral is the new ugly!

The old institutional color. If one likes that color, he/she should be institutionalized.
