I'm sure it's a component for some people, but really those houses do suck. If you have a million dollars to burn on a house, just hire an architect.

These houses are often built en masse to hit marketable squarefootage numbers and get noticed in listings, for the cheapest possible cost of construction.

You're hallucinating an argument right now. Nobody here wants to infringe on someone's property rights. It's a submission about why some houses are ugly, with a comment thread about why they're ugly.

Your comment is bad, but by that I don't mean "punishable by 15 years' hard labor in a Siberian gulag." Is that hard to believe?

Where was anything said about putting restrictions onto what people do with their property? I skimmed the article again just to make sure, and I can't find any argument in that direction.

Saying "X is ugly" or "X is ugly, here is a rule to try to explain why" does not mean "X should not be allowed to exist".
