A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design.

Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too!

We need mods!! Please please help!

A Short Guide

Friends at c/badrealestate!

Here are the rules:

Posts can be about ugly houses in general
Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. -->Tags: "Thursday Design Appreciation" or "HouseTDA", "Just Ugly", "Shitpost", "Certified McMansion™", "Discussion/Debate", and "Interior" are available.
All post subjects must be single family homes -->Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture.
Don't post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. -->Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing.
Direct Images Only, no links please. -->Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such.
No Spam -->No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn't react to it. Please understand that.
No Screenshots -->Crop your photos correctly.
Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

Slam dunk McMansion. About as McMansion as it gets without just having an entire grass outside and zero other plants. Ugh, these kinds of houses cause me pain. So much wasted space and resources and water...

What's most offensive to me in so many of these posts is all the grass.

I mean, you've got money and some little architect or builder-designer is getting a chance to go a little nuts, I don't care. It's huge and you end up singlehandedly buying the electric company a new coal scrubber or solar field, you know, that's what public policy is for.

But, plant some shrubbery for God's sake. A baroque hedge garden filled with lavender and bee balm would be appropriately tacky and also serve a few bees.

You are right! I expected an HOA, but instead it appears the owners are just boring.

The pool looks brutal. No shade, lots of concrete. No privacy.

I feel like TN should just be off limits for this Com. It's just too damn easy. This is every third house in suburban TN.

I think TN and CA have really horrible houses overall!
