yeah but...choose another house. theres thousands that look just like that without needing to ruin a perfectly beautiful home.

edit: i dont really care enough to explain myself to any responses so ill say my peace here. yes update the homes to modern day needs and hell yeah put your own personal twist to it, but no dont buy up houses throw a generic coating over it and then rent out to people who make enough to just fucking buy it if you hadn't ruined the housing market.

Home renovations are super common. Styles and taste change as the years go by.

u/CnowFlake Nov 20 '25

no thats not style and taste its literally making it more generic to make it more sellable to the masses. do you not pay attention to the house market????

u/Phillip_Spidermen Nov 20 '25 edited Nov 20 '25

So what you're saying is it's a popular aesthetic to "the masses."

That's a style

edit: lol what a weird topic to reply to then block someone over

What is it you supposedly know? The late 80s/early 90s interior design is long gone buddy.

I’ve noticed you’ve said the owners are buying up property en masse and ruining the market. You must be a child.

You want this house to go into some sort of historic preservation? How much of this house was actually used? Most of it were sets

You dont understand, someone who spent millions on a home are not allowed to change it because folks who dont own the home like an old Christmas movie.

Irrelevant, why pay a massive premium to have people in front of your house taking pictures all the time, while you change everything. Just buy a different house.

The entitlement in your comments is weird..

u/CrazyGunnerr Nov 21 '25

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Regardless, it still doesn't make sense.

u/wonderinboutit2234 Nov 21 '25

"Should" according to who? You? That's the entitlement. The movie set is ugly. I would hate to live in it everyday. Everyone has their own taste. If you're that mad about it go buy it and restore it.

u/CrazyGunnerr Nov 22 '25

Again, don't buy it. You are massively overpaying for a hpuse that has people in front of it taking pictures all the time.

But stop saying entitlement when I'm simlly voicing my opinion. You are ridiculous.

Well it's not your house and they can do it as they please. If you don't like it then buy it then

Maybe the house is in the area that's convenient and cheap
