      Oh, now you've touched on one of my biggest housing peeves.  Our street in Houston had post war ranch, Mediterranean, Tudor, craftsman, colonial, 5,000 square foot 2 story Cape Cod "cottages", Miami Vice drug kingpin, you name it.  I always complained about how there was no thought given to what was historically, geographically, or culturally appropriate.  San Antonio has a more distinct style, so we didn't want to stray too far afield.  Hopefully, this will work out as intended.

      And builders that combine brick, vinyl siding, stucco, and manufactured "stone" in a single house need to be punched.  Repeatedly.

          Sadly there is often not much more thought in a new house's Architecture over here either!

          I moved a while back, need to take a few decent shots.

            I tried to get one exactly like this, but my wife wouldn't let me.

              Lol I’ve always loved that post.

              Overall I like the Mediterranean style homes, but yes, they do take things a bit over the top down in Htown

                    One of my big housing pet peeves (besides vomiting up different textures and materials) is ridiculous roof lines.  This prime example is being built in Austin right now:

                    I don't care how well your roof is flashed, this thing is going to leak like a sieve one day.

                              Since you can't disbar architects, that one should be disemboweled. Falling down on that roof should do it.

                                    Rumor is that there’s a slide inside for the kids and it has a stained glass disco ball in the entryway. I’ll have to do a drive by one of these days, it’s only a few miles from me.

                                        One of the trends in Sydney real estate sales is the use of lifestyle models to promote a property. It's probably a side-effect of prices getting out of control, and agents feeling the need to up the ante to justify their commission.

                                        This house in Rozelle is a relative bargain at $1 million. However, the models look more like something out of The Shining, rather than selling a desirable lifestyle!
