Anna Bloviation's Aesthetic Atrocity of the Week. I don't know about you, but I remember when $1 million dollars was not only a lot of money but when you went out and actually put your mind to spending it, you got in most cases something pretty special. Not so here. This McMansion house is part of a recently-leveled woodland now home to nine of these humongous houses, each a pebble's throw from the other (literally). Price tag? $1.2 million dollars. Let me pan out for you so you can put this atrocity into perspective....the road directly in front of the 'picnic area' you see behind the traffic cone is a MAJOR THOROUGHFARE with non-stop 24/7 traffic (it took a couple of lights and timing to get a shot without a car whizzing by). To the right is a view to a cemetery (not that there is anything wrong with cemeteries...). To the left you can not only see the neighbor's beige-colored house closing in on this house's 'personal space' but behind that house is a major intersection that joins yet another busy street. Granted the traffic cone and cement watch-a-ma-thing will disappear once construction is completed but would you spend $1.2 million dollars for this 'sanctuary'? I could find you a number of affordable housing units in my town with a lot more curb appeal, ambiance, and quiet than this monstrosity... not to mention that maintenance costs would be substantially lower.
