In many cities, there is little control on the design and construction of new houses. Some people think that people can choose to build houses in their own styles instead of building them with the same as the old house style in local areas. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

There is a current trend in many cities that the architectural plans are put under supervision. Some people assume that people should be given freedom to choose how their houses are built rather than follow the conventional styles of the old ones. In my opinion, the benefits associated with

although

some people say that the design and construction of modern and traditional buildings should be the same, I hold a belief that there will be more merits if owners are allowed to exercise their free will on the design of their houses.
