Band 6.5

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

In
this
 contemporary world, there is debate over individuals wanting to create their own
house
 and whether their new houses should be constructed the same as their older neighbouring homes. I personally believe that one should have the freedom to make their own living space and
this
 essay will take a closer look at why
this
 choice comes with more benefits than costs. On one hand, a person's
house
 is something he made from his own money.If the owner of the
house
 has spent decades working assiduously to save money, he should be compensated by at least having the choice to make a home as he sees fit. If you remove
this
 freedom, the
house
 loses value to its resident as it wasn't built according to their own wishes, but rather to the communities' outdated requirements.
Furthermore
, older houses are less convenient than modern houses. Contemporary houses are built to make the life of its occupants easier.An example of
this
 is seen by the presence of garbage disposal machines built in sinks that comes with modern homes.
This
 reduces the amount of landfill waste and is easier to clean after eating.
This
 is why having control of the home you built is important.
On the other hand
, a
house
 that blends in with its surroundings
is
Suggestion
are
 more aesthetically pleasing and allows better integration with the local community. Being similar to surrounding houses gives the local community a sense of equality among each other.
For instance
, if there is a posh
house
 in the neighbourhood, it will reduce the self esteem of the nearby neighbours because their owners know that they are poor to afford
such
 an extravagant compound.
This
 will lead to jealousy and resentment in the local area. In conclusion, even though building a nice home may cause tension by standing out from the rest, it is worthwhile as the
house
 is tailor made just for the owners needs and is up to date with the latest housing needs.
