Cookie Cutters Houses
Where is the yard?
New builders today like to condense as many houses as they possibly can on a small area of land for a maximum amount of profit. The city in which the houses are built, also rubber stamp this process and share in the profit from buyers that are virtually on top of each other.
When one purchases a new house, and requires space for trees, gardens and plants among other items, don’t buy and promote these types of developments; it will only encourage them to build more.
There is virtually no room to even get a wheel barrow or lawn mower between houses of this type. If you live in a northern climate, there is not even enough space to pile the snow after the driveway is shoveled. Be aware if you own more than one car, they may not fit in your driveway since they are not very long, especially if you have a truck. In addition, since the houses are so close, and called “single houses” they are susceptible to water damage from other homes right beside them when water falls off their roofs!
Say no to cookie cutter houses.
Look for a house where you can comfortably plan where your garden is going to be, where you may want to plant some trees, possibly build a play area and even a place for a tool shed. Builders and companies lead people to believe space is at a premium, and it simply shouldn't be because we live on a large planet with plenty to go around. There are advantages to having a home with more land. A house with a yard means you have less neighbors and more nature, which will lead to; less conflict with folks, noise reduction and more peace and quiet.
Stop builders and the city from this greedy cash grab by simply not purchasing these types of homes, besides more land leads to animals and birds coming into the yard allowing closer contact with mother earth.
Consider all the options before purchasing cookie cutter houses with tiny yards, because there really is no reason people should be stacked on top of each other like books on a shelf.
