    Yeah, when they can easily just make one up, as we've seen.

    Maybe being "hacked" is a new term for being really drunk. :)

    Ha I don't doubt it. I like some of his ideas but I think people took his style and applied it in a way that I find more...well, pleasing and livable. If you ever drive through Palm Springs, it has countless examples of this aesthetic done in a way I find tasteful and timeless.

    In LA I remember seeing a house designed by R Kappe and really liked that one as well. I find myself really drawn to more of the Japanese style and mid-century modern American style than anything else. A Craftsman house always looks timeless as well.

    I agree about the furniture and leaky ceilings. With regards to the
    invention of the automobile, the front porch became obsolete when traffic
    began moving faster than conversation could be conducted. A side or service entrance facing the driveway makes more sense.

    A few years ago the Snowflake Inn was torn down. While it was credited to being designed by FLW, his son in law was in charge of his design firm, and Wright was dead beofre it was built. It was never the tourist attraction
    they belived it would be, and the owners didn't invest enough in the upkeep.

    it doesnt matter that they walk into their side entrance of an attached garage. houses are still being built brand new with front porches. It's an aesthetic.

    The idea design for houses is to have a front and back porch.

    https://eyeonhousing.org/2021/09/share-of-new-homes-with-porches-back-over-65-percent-2/

    "Among other things, the latest BPS report (covering homes built in 2020) shows that porches continue to be most common on the front of new single-family homes, rather than on the side or rear. When they are present, however, the side and rear porches tend to be larger-about 143 square feet, on average, compared to roughly 99 square feet for front porches. "

    Women want a porch where they can hang their flowers. they can get a rocking chair and put it on there and never use it.

    What women want drive house development and design.

    Understood, but in my area the beanfields being turned into gated communities have houses built near the road, with a deck in the backyard, and a simple entrance in the front. No porch. The houses have garages thatt step into
    the kitchen like a service entrance. My aunt lives in one, and the neighbors are a variety of ages, and most keep to themselves. The backyard decks are
    the spot for flowers and rocking chairs, and see use.

    Let me explain... Before window screens, you might as well go outside
    to cool off, since the flies would come in. Then screens came along
    and you could stay inside, but still talk through the windows. Then
    air conditioners meant you could shut the windows, thus shutting
    out the outside world...

    I think there's a lot of truth to that!

    It does make a lot of sense. The kids don't play outside as much
    anymore, either. In the case of some of our local kids, that is a good thing. Whenever they are outside they are screaming at their parents or tearing (other people's) stuff up. :O ;)

    LOL - yeah, I can see that, but yeah kids have different social circles nowadays...

    I can see that! I guess that also explains why the porches were so HUGE

    Regarding next door neighbors, either I know them from growing up,

    Nowadays I know half of my neighbors, but know little about them or
    have no social threads with them.

    It seems like the neighbors were closer or more friendly during my parent's generation. I also think that is because everyone here was
    from around here, and an acquaitance of an acquaintance. These people were all from the area within the county, and the older families had
    large families so it was hard to avoid not knowing someone from a
    family.

    Correct. In the old days the kids would stay around or leave school early to work on the farm, and marry into another local family. College and professional jobs elsewhere allow the families to move one to where the jobs are.

    Also, neignbors run their AC 24/7 and put the compressor where they
    can't hear it but their neighbors can.

    I had a neighbor who ran his AC most every month until 10:00pm -- and
    their compressor was right outside of our dining room windows. That was
    the least of his problems, I'm afraid.

    I think you are right about newer houses. A friend of mine had a house
    built in the 1990's or so. Her neighbor had a 2-story with a compressor
    for each floor. Both were outside her kitchen bay window. The neighbor,
    OTOH, had no windows on that level.

    Her unit, IIRC, was also on that same side, but not close to the window.
    As many new, larger homes are built barely 5 yards apart, walking between
    the two houses to get to her backyard could be noisy during Summer.

    One of the houses I grew up in was built in the late 1960's. The outdoor
    unit was on the side of the house where there were no windows on that
    level. It faced the garage wall of the neighbor's house, which also had no windows.

    The neighbors on the other side backed up to my parent's house. Their
    outdoor unit was on a wall that faced our windowless garage wall.
    Ironically, their unit was right outside their dining room windows. I
    remember that because lightning struck their nearby tree and fried their outside unit.

    Just around the corner of the house, they had a wall with no windows on it. Only thing I can figure was that the unit was not put there because they
    were a corner house and that windowless wall faced a street.
