Some people think that newly built houses should follow the style of the old houses in the local areas, while others think that people should have freedom to build houses of their own styles. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

People have different views on how new houses should be built. While some argue that new homes in a locality should be built to match the traditional building style of that area, others insist that

 owners should be allowed to choose whatever design they like. In my opinion, the occupants of a house should have the freedom to decide how it should look. There are definitely a few benefits
to

of
 following the traditional style. It lends a classic look to the neighbourhood.
Also
, when all houses look the same, residents feel a sense of equality. People often build palatial homes to show off their wealth. By simply asking them to build a
home
 that matches other homes in the locality the government can stop
this
 audacious display of wealth. On the flip side, there are many more benefits
to
Suggestion
of
 building a
home
 as per the needs and wants of its owner. To start with, homes that look alike lack character. A
home
 is a reflection of the owner’s personality. It is a space you own and for
this
 reason, the local authorities should allow people to decide how their homes should be built.
Also
, traditional buildings are not very energy efficient or comfortable. Many of them
also
 lack modern features
such
 as attached bathrooms or modular kitchens.
In addition
, adding features
such
 as CCTV cameras or burglar alarms to a traditionally built
home
 can be a challenge. To conclude, while it is easy to follow the historical style of building homes, in my opinion, it is important to allow people to decide how their homes should be built because a
home
 is much more than a place to live in. It is an extension of your personality.
