Thinking you need a general contractor to manage building a house when you already know a concrete man/framer/electrician/hvac/plumber.
Most people dont have the time to deal with all that. Building a house becomes a full time job trying to keep subs in line.

I'm guilty of several of these infractions.
-semi open floor plan. kitchen flows into informal dining and also a den area.
-2 story foyer( i think it ended up being 10-11 ft wide) and great room and informal dining . it can get pretty echo-y
especially with wood floors and not many rugs. even whispers can really travel
- 2 sinks on the island. but there's still plenty of room.(roughly 11'x5') and they make logical sense to be there. island is probably too big but it serves to separate the cooking side from the cleaning side

TV over the fireplace. Low class look.
Agree here but less about how it looks and more about:
1) the neck ache you get trying to watch it
2) no spot for my center channel

This is the part I don't understand. Just hire good sub-contractors and you don't have to keep them in line.

How do I find these good subs?
Even if good it turns in to phone calls all day lining stuff up with vendors, dealing with permits, etc
Worth the 10-15% a good GC will charge

One thing that needs to become more standard in nice houses is washer dryers or small laundry rooms by the kids bedrooms so they can do their own laundry!

No exterior double door.
Why is this bad? I think the opposite. Damn near every single house has these hideous, flimsy, pain in the arse double doors. Not to mention the constant seal problems with them. I threw an oversized single door on mine and called it a day.

My real beef are homes that don't fit in the neighborhood. For example, imagine a neighborhood filled with bungalows or American Craftsman style homes and then you have this plopped in there:

What I don't like, however, are:
- garage doors for rooms other than the garage
- whatever you call this new, modern style home that builders are throwing up left and right

When developers of a neighborhood don't require that the back patios are all on the same side of the houses. Doing this would eliminate back patios that face each other. I don't dislike my neighbor, but I'd like to have conversations on my back patio/outdoor kitchen without my neighbors being able to hear it.
Stupid and cheap LVP flooring (the one that floats and doesn't glue down).

I'd bet $100 that house is in Nashville. That style is everywhere around there.

Square bathroom sinks that don't empty properly

unless a LOT of thought and care was put into waterproofing around the windows, the entire exterior of those homes will need to be renoed in a decade or less. Without overhangs, water soaking the entire window area everytime it rains is a recipe for problems.

I'll see you and raise you the raised glass bowl sinks.

Per the article - South Park neighborhood of Raleigh. But you're correct. We rented an AirBnB for the LSU-Vanderbilt game this past fall and stayed to a home similar to that style. The rood was flat, however, and not slanted. That's where the patio or "deck" was (the roof). It was hot as hell.
