Here we learn the ultimate lesson of these shows: You can look at a free-standing building wherein some persons reside, and you can spin house-or-home poetry out of that all day long. But at the end of that day, property is what it is. Your home can look like an expression of you, but your property needs to look like a Pottery Barn catalog. Your wallpaper decisions may have expressed your individuality when you made them, but you are not an individual anymore, and no one wants to think about you. Stop expressing yourself. This place you live needs to look, in fact, like the total obliteration of “you,” because selling property is about someone else’s dreams of self-expression and taste.
God. So fucking depressing because it's totally the attitude of 99% of the people in this world who own buildings, home or otherwise.
Are architects the only ones who can walk into a dump, a hellhole that smells like cat urine, and see potential? Oh, I forgot - house flippers can do that too.
Crap.
