Highlands Plantation "features exterior design similar to the look of the Cotton District"

I selected Highlands Plantation as one of my community studies for our second project. I'm sure most of you are familiar with this conventional, clustered, cookie-cutter neighborhood. While doing my research, I stumbled across Garden Homes of Highlands Plantation website. According to their site, the garden homes in Highlands are "built motivated by traditional core values of quality, featuring exterior design similar to the look of the 'Cotton District', a historical downtown area of Starkville." I'm not so sure about that, but I could be biased since I am a resident of the Cotton District - a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented, historic neighborhood.

    They look exactly alike. No I think you've hit on a huge problem in our society. The co-opting of words while not understanding the pattern. You should show some of your images concerning storm water here on your blog as well.
