Loading ...I had to run an errand last week that took me along Marine View Drive which runs alongside the water on the northeast side of the bay. It’s a lovely stretch of road that goes uphill with marinas dotting the waterline and cliffside homes overlooking breathtaking views.
In a few pockets of the drive, lately, have been springing up these homogenized McMansions… fantastically ugly nouveau rich-in-a-box designs exactly the same, three or more right next to each other in a row.
These are no inexpensive pieces of development either. Each one has an assessed value of at least a couple cool million.
It really made me think… has our society become so homogenized in its thinking and personality that even when we have that kind of money to spend, all we can come up with are these hideously uninspired commercial monstrosities devoid of all artisty, individuality and style?
So in a roundabout way, these thoughts made me realize how grateful I am to be a free-wheeling, independent-thinking non-conformist.
Halle-freaking-lujah!!!
Let me...
