Maybe it was because she referred to me as the 'hot skater', but not because she was more excited about the front house than the back one. The only reason the front house is there is to pacify those that don't want to be challenged by architecture, that want it to blend into the background, to be mediocre, to be suitable for ordinary lives. All of which makes it easier to sell. But that won't stop me, I hope the next one is really ugly, and it makes the neighbors really mad.
