Post a pic of your place and let’s see what the general population has to say." Suffice it to say no one would be tempted to toss a Molotov cocktail. And that I don't need to shop at Ikea. “We get it that you hate the house. Post a pic of your place and let’s see what the general population has to say.”

As for "it’s like being in Mexico" I haven't been to Acapulco or Mexico City in awhile but I suspect if this house were in Las Brisas or Las Lomas, well, the Molotov cocktails would have been tossed before the painters even finished.

It really is a wonderful house - not for everyone's taste, of course - but that's what makes life interesting. the back yard is fine -- it's like being in Mexico. oh well. - even for those who hate it - imagine it being totally repainted - it would still be wonderful and more acceptable to everyone. actually I’m suprised how much everyone hates this.

God forbid anyone could build anything that does not fit in. If that is your mentality, then by all means snap up that Perry Home that has your name stamped on it in Northwest Houston. So homogenous--no surprises there. This house is not my taste but it is well done. I suppose if it had been painted pale yellow and had a bunch of fieldstone smeared on it for panache, it would have been fine. Maybe next week, we can decide which subdivision contains KB tract home model 12345-A. "The Stepford". Ooh I cannot wait!
