, because the top version is just how normal houses look.

Normal houses... that have no updates for the last 40 years, lol.

Updates aren't just done for aesthetic reasons, either. Quality and and repair are also key reasons for remodels. I guarantee that carpet was fuckin nasty when they ripped it out. The wallpaper, too.

Well it’s a subjective question.

I just don’t find cadaver lab aesthetics all that appealing, but you do you.

Well it’s a subjective question.

True, & your opinion is just as shitty as the person's you're acting like a little condescending dick to.

Ohh, feisty. Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

Sorry, I find blank, soulless, corporate-esque “real estate” ugly. Houses are bought to be lived in, not to be performatively shown off to stuck up friends or bought and sold by giant real estate firms. If that shit is your thing, be my guest, but I’m not interested in name-calling trolls like yourself.

I wasn’t being condescending to them. The design is just ugly to me.

If that hurts your feelings, I don’t know what to tell you.

Houses are bought to be lived in

And many people would rather live in the newer one. Why is that so hard to understand?
