For me. I prefer the older areas with smaller houses on bigger lots, with sizeable backyards, and abundant tree growth. Also the variety of design and quality of materials and workmanship seems to be much greater.

I mean this is a whole other issue in itself and one I somewhat agree with. New subdivisions with exclusivity agreements for one or two homebuilders offering a half-dozen similar floor plans and colour palettes all on a flat quarter section of dirt with no semblance of nature (heaven forbid there were trees on the property before!). All done with the singular goal to minimize costs to the builders to produce the cheapest (not most-affordable) box builders can build
