I thought we were all supposed to live in 800 square-foot tiny home efficiencies.

If the country ever returns to sanity, fire their sorry asses and tear down their buildings.

Excerpt:

On Monday, President Joe Biden broke with a century of precedent by demanding the resignations of four members of the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts, including Chas Fagan, Steven Spandle, Perry Guillot, and Commission Chairman Justin Shubow. His reason? He doesn’t like the classic aesthetic.

“The counsel’s office,” Bloomberg reports, “advised that President Joe Biden has the authority to remove the commissioners, whose staunch support for classical architecture does not align with his values.”

Or maybe The Haunted Mansion.

Abandoned in the woods of Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C., there are pieces of U.S. Capitol history that have been there since the 1950s.

Standing alone in the middle of a field at the US National Arboretum are 22 Corinthian columns that we once part of the east portico of the US Capitol building. They don't serve any purpose now, except to preserve that part of American history.

“Socialist Realism” is the emerging architecture style. Heavy, ponderous, and uninteresting.
