In my community, pakis buy 2-3 story houses built in the late 70s, knock em down, and put up grey and black 4-story mcmansions that shade everything around them.
When I lived in Seattle it had started to become popular to tear down the nice little mid-century 2-story houses to build what I can only describe as "rectangle houses" (which look exactly like they sound and are the exact maximum dimensions the local building code allows them to be). These monstrosities stuck out like a sore thumb and are going to look horribly dated in 50 years.

I hate them so much.
