Get used to it. Baton Rouge is all about out of land for large new subdivision developments. These areas like Southdowns and Hundred Oaks are prime real estate. The ROI is enough to buy an old arse house, demo it, and build new construction.

As long as you build within your setbacks,the city does not care what you build as long as it adheres to the UDC.

because its just not right for the neighbors in my opinion.
I get your point here due to the feel of the older surrounding areas, but its simply your opinion and nothing more.

Same in Fort Worth...one of my favorite neighborhoods, Monticello, has had these big new, very plain rectangular houses going in among cute smallish (although some not so small) 'cottages'...it's just sad because it takes away from the character of the area IMO. Fairmount, on the other hand, is a protected Historic District, so although the neighborhood is in transition, it maintains its charm as homes are being renovated and even new ones being built. I don't mind new homes being built in old areas, but at least a little attempt to make the new home fit in with the old ones is nice.

Better to have a massive new house, than a neglected house full of college kids.
