Another thing that drove me crazy…the “high end” architecture was also hollow. Like very nice cabinets but using 1/2" wood instead of 3/4" so they flexed if you leaned on them. They feel like movie sets.
I suppose that is, in a way, what they are supposed to be – displays of wealth by people who can only just afford them which means they have to spare on the quality
The weird part to me is that they’re only impressive from the street…but they’re usually in private communities full of other McMansions…so…who are you trying to impress? Other people who know the truth that your house is made of toothpicks and paper?
Interesting!
