I grew up in the 1970s.
Back then you’d hear the machinery and noise of someone’s home improvement project, maybe about once or twice a year.
But now….. if you live in a California suburb (or any suburb?), the constant noise of so many people “improving” or remodeling their homes… never goes away. It’s all day long. Every day.
Why is this?
Population has doubled since the 1970s in my area, so that’s one factor. But the number of home “improvement” projects has increased at least tenfold.
Is HGTV brainwashing people? What is it? What’s going on?
