there's no such thing as real craftsmanship anymore...old town Orange has real houses, true blue Craftsman style, over 50-60 years old, all individual, big lots, space between them...nice stuff.
The new crap...yep, slap em together...squeeze every cent out of the land values, forget how long the homes might last, no where near as the Orange houses.

You'd really envy my Chicago bungalow.
