Just compared the same floor plan built in 2015 in Ballantyne versus one built last year, and the new one feels like a shoebox.
The 2015 version had a real entryway and a separate dining room, but the 2022 model cut both to make the great room bigger, which just feels like a cheap trick to list more square footage. Anyone else notice builders doing this now?

Honestly, I'm all for it. That "real entryway" was just wasted hall space you had to heat and cool. Who eats in a separate dining room anymore? The open plan means you can actually talk to people while you cook, and it makes the whole place feel brighter and way less cramped. Builders are just giving people what they actually use.

Wait, so @faith_perez, you're telling me the only thing we're losing is a place to awkwardly stand while waiting for someone to answer the door? What about when you burn the garlic and the whole house smells like dinner failure for three days straight?
