MIDWEEK MUSING: THE BIGGER, THE BETTER? NOT

 MIDWEEK MUSING: Rumors were my childhood block held a BIG surprise.  Today I took a drive over to take a look, and at the stop sign, a block westward, there up in front of me, new construction towered over the houses and trees...

The last time I visited, cinder blocks were forming, obviously just part of the foundation.  On a block where originally most homes were ranches ( ramblers ) one floor homes, 3 have been remodeled into 2 floors over the last 3 decades and now this new one has 3 floors.

It's truly an eyesore being so out of place with no yard left, no less. UGLY. Those poor neighbors in front of this monstrosity. Fortunately, our small 3-bedroom family home has a huge tree blocking our large picture window from the new structure's view.

One would think there would be building codes, right? The front facade is so much closer to the street than any other home on the block. Where will the owners even park their cars? 

Reflections of a society that doesn't think about how their actions affect others and our environment. SAD, SO SAD!
