Totally agree on the cheaper materials. There are newly built "luxury" homes near me that bend so much in the wind the windows crack.

But Victorian homes also had weird layouts because they didn't live like us. I don't need a parlor and a sitting room and a living room. Today we prefer larger multi-functional spaces. Those luxury homes I mentioned before basically have one huge room at the back of the house with the kitchen in one corner, a small eating area, and a massive space for couches and a TV. As someone whose kitchen is totally cut off from the rest of the house I know I'd prefer that open floor plan.

Huh I prefer my kitchen being cut off from the rest of my house.
