Most affluent SA'ers have panic buttons in EVERY room in their house! It alerts a private security force because the police are viewed as non dependable.

I don't know about finding ugly places and offending those who live there for whatever reasons but I will concur that California uniquely has some of the most beautiful and ugliest places on earth

I REALLY like the look of West Village in NYC. Looks like a nice place.

My old middle school is ugly to me. Boude Storey Middle School built in 1932 of spanish architechture. This was the first middle school built in the City of Dallas. The inside is beautiful, the auditorium has massive mahogany beams holding up the ceiling and has 10 chandeliers. The school had bad renovations over the years, now the school district is completely renovating it.
