Here’s why this house is inappropriate
I recently posted a photo of the house below and need to explain why it is so offensive for people not familiar with Sedona- but Reddit will not allow me to edit original post. It was built in front of a national landmark/monument of Mammoth Rock and the historic, famed and sacred Chapel of the Holy Cross in Arizona, and in the way of the public’s view of another landmark, Cathedral Rock. For people who don’t know Sedona, this is like putting a McDonalds in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral or a Costco in front of Niagara falls. The selfish individual who owns this home rarely even occupies it but it makes tourism in Sedona less awe inspiring and sacred for tens of thousands every year when the landmarks they traveled across the country to see are obscured by this tasteless garbage. The first two photos are of the “house” and the second two photos the site from which the view of Cathedral Rock is totally destroyed- the famed Chapel of the Holy Cross- a cultural, natural and architectural landmark. This McMansion disrespects Arizona’s and the country’s shared natural and cultural heritage which belongs to the public.
