Ha, ha. I don't deny it, but to some of us in other parts of the country, the mishmash out there looks rather odd.
Confession time: I loathe uniformity. I visited a mediterranean subdivision in Pacific Palisades and it almost made me cry, to see all those uniform boring designs without any heart behind them.
This is my main problem with Orange County. It's richer and shinier than LA, and the government is run about 1000% better, but the housing is too uniform. I love Lido Island, which has a lot of different styles, but entry level pricing is pushing $1 million now, and for a boat dock you're talking about $3.5 million and up. Ouch.
