I really don't want to live in a ranch. There's just not enough space and they're all so bland.

The only thing I think I'd really want in a house is two stories. I grew up in them and being limited to one floor would just be cramped for me. I'd also like something in the country, though I'd rather buy a farmhouse than build new. Seeing old rich people buy up farmland to build these huge, expensive gaudy houses to "get away from it all" (when they're moving into a community with other rich old people with expensive gaudy houses and increasing the rate of urban expansion and destruction of farmland...) just pisses me off so I refuse to be one. Though I guess I could build something conservative on a plot of land that's already there. Just nothing that involves getting rid of woods or fields.
