The "Abstract" to my research paper

I would like to slow the mass production of houses across the U.S., however, I want to focus on the city in which I live. Or at least make people aware of option of getting an architect for the design of their home. Generally people buy & build houses that are the master plan from a developer. People live in houses that are mass produced (in this fast paced world that we now live in) from a developer who is making a huge profit(okay, some architects do it too) rather than caring about the individual or family who buys these houses and their unique needs. In this paper I would like to study the cost comparisons on the standard mass production house compared to hiring an architect. Sure, I could live a mass produced house, I do, I am renting and this old house is good enough for our family to get buy, don’t get me wrong, there are many things that I would love to change about this house. I can only imagine how many other feel about their homes in one of these developments where all the houses sit at the same distance from the street the only real choice they made about the house was: what color should the stucco be, tan or brown? These houses are bland and look the same and are void of almost any architectural details.I would like to show in this argument that choosing an architect (even if it is for consulting) would improve and enhance the way people live in and experience their homes, and our overall view of suburbia, and just plain improve our environment by choosing more sustainable options and smaller home footprints.. However, I have not been able to prove that at this point, I have found this topic to be frustrating and very sensitive to people.

I have to end, my thirty minutes is up.
