I just think they're weirdly isolated from everything, and obviously are clearly not very well constructed for some reason...maybe if the location was better and had more places of interest around it, and most of all, if they were vacation rentals rather than purchasable properties, they mightve been more successful (assuming the company had the money to make it the best it could be).

[@maximumeffort78]

One, true castle that has either been maintained and updated or entirely restored from its its grand, ever standing walls… that is architectural beauty. A modern castle held to the same standards is just as beautiful really, just some modern century style or older home when the same detail and integrity is met. The problem is, most people do not want to pay for these homes, but they want their home to look like suck. This leads to “brick detailing” being made of actual FOAM, exterior brick work being brick facade, the century homes only being detailed in the front, having plastic siding, and so much more. The homes have poor finishes inside, bad layouts, it’s usually a whole mess and they just aren’t made to last. That isn’t craftsmanship. That said, would you feel like you home was a castle, was something special, when you saw 750+ identical poorly made castles in your HOA? Not I. Kinda reminds me of the weird Disney community in Florida, but at least that Stepford Wives community is kinda cute. Family annihilator m*rder aside. I’m not saying all of this to be an a$$hole, I just really appreciate architecture. From early civilization to a building/home completed today, even things like bridges, I truly appreciate beautiful and intelligent concepts brought to life in architecture and structural design. 😊

[@LilithNMorning]

Why tf did they build all of them at once.?! A smart idea would have been to build a street of them like maybe 6, see if people actually bought into the concept, and go from there.

[@katcoe1079]

Normally you would build one, then market the shit out of the idea and get people to pre purchase plots. It's also weird they are all so close together. Not for normal house standards but as they look like mini mansions you'd expect a decent space around each one. They are constructed the way theme park building facades are, all pretend using plastics and resins instead of stone.

The developer should have built, sold, and then completed them one at a time. His biggest mistake was building the exteriors all at once, before he sold the first one, completing it and moving the people in.

Unless you do anything in Jesus name you will always glory in yourself no matter what you can't be purely selfless unless you do it in Christ name.

Only Jesus Christ was selfless he loves his enemies even when they reject him to the grave, he gains nothing from what he does, try continually being kind and giving gifts to someone who ignores you, and runs your name through the dirt or even attacks you, yeah you'd probably stop being kind to them, "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same."
