Some years ago, a home builder submitted plans for a midwest-style home with a graceful roofline (as opposed to the steep-pitched multi-gabled homes more prevalent here in Texas). The homeowener's association approved the plans, and the house was built.

When the house was built, all of a sudden, the other residents in the neighborhood were up in arms over the look, and wanted the house torn down!!

Despite the total waste of space (and associated heat that resides in that space), it's a mindset that won't change soon...
