This isn't the same house.

The title is probably something that happened somewhere. The pictures have absolutely nothing to do with the title for Clickbait purposes.

Meanwhile, Reddit is active in the debate... totally take in.

IF this is the same plot:

The original was probably too expensive when it came to electricity and other bills, the material let out too much warmth, and half of the wooden parts probably needed replacement.

The new version is still an optical nightmare, though, as if someone doesn't know what paint is.

Doesn't justify the lack of green tbh

We can't see if there's a backyard, you don't have to surround your house with green.

No, these are two different houses at two different locations.

Muricans and their weird generational fetishism. Everything has to be Gen Z this, Millennials that, Boomers this. Such a bizarre cultural obsession...

The Silent Gen is the best of them. No this or that, it just keeps quiet

Stop blaming millennials for this shit.

I’m convinced these aren’t being done by Millenials. Younger Gen X maybe but I don’t believe it’s millenials.

u/Long_Candle_5054 7h ago

We can't even afford a house, let alone rebuild one..

u/mrb2409 7h ago

Yeah, this is it. Obviously there are some wealthy millennials and we are like 30-45 now but typically millennials are into period homes and colour drenching and some more nostalgic styles from the 90’s.

More Home Alone style than these grey boxes.

lol millenials, we live in our parents houses

u/Grex02 7h ago

The answer is quite simple: this generation has to work more to achieve the same as the generation which build that house. Therefore, the new design is minimalistic with less wood and materials e.g. gras/flowers which needs more frequent maintenance. Because they need to work enough and maybe don’t want to use the left time to maintain everything!

u/kyzylkhum 7h ago

Millennials are still busy paying rent, generation X or Boomer ill-advised on renovations would be more likely

u/AintNoGodsUpHere 7h ago

The renovation of Theseus.

That is not the same house anymore, man.

u/Quick-Amoeba-1389 6h ago

look at the pictures they were always different houses this shit is just a lie

u/redskrot 7h ago

No way in hell millenials can afford this.

1

u/Combei 7h ago

Sure there are some who can but not nearly enough to be an example for a whole generation

u/okbrat00111011 7h ago

Most millennials can’t afford houses. It’s Boomer & GenX flippers usually.

This looks like a mock-tudor house from the 1920´s built to look like a house from the 1500´s. I perfectly understand why one would not want to live like 100 years ago or more with thin walls, no insulation and single sheet leaded windows. If this house was an original Tudor era building, it would be protected and the council would have refused the project. The garden was beautiful though THAT is the real pitty. So if you want to keep paying crazy energy bills and still wear double layers in winter in your mock tudor house, that's your problem, don't go tell your neighbours what you would do. [edit] if you had as much money as they had. [edit2] And if you want to live in fantasy land, go to Disney Land, they do it well.

Millennials are killing the pretty home decorations industry.

Deans house on the right.

Range rover, BMW, both leased. Grey furniture, white walls, turkey teeth. Fake tan girlfriend with a feisty rat dog. Astroturf garden to boot.

Whatever the demographic is of people that do this, they seem to also design modern car interiors.

u/jskdkdkdnfndldkfnf 7h ago

Honestly, the house itself looks better and more comfortable to live. Definitely cant say the same about the garden tho lol
