couldn't agree more....i've seen adjacent terraces sell for almost next to nothing difference (one reno'ed, other untouched)...as well...
it is all this overconfidence of wannabe 'developers'
"because we are more capable and because our cars are more prestige and our whiskey is more expensive" crowd!
lol!
time has come: burn baby burn !!!
