So there's this real thing called the Principle of Conformity, which states that: "maximan value is realized when a reasonable degree of architectural homogeneity exists and land uses are compatible." As I see it, use of the term 'homogenous' merely suggests that the principle of conformity is at play in a particular neighborhood. And if these two constructs are - shall we say, homogenous - would it not be just as applicable to state that 'the principle of conformity is being practiced in this neighborhood'? Assuming it is even relevant to the analysis.

Like most of these words context matters. Just make sure instead of saying the neighborhood is homogeneous you say the neighborhood dwellings are homogenous. The whole discussion seems to be going after like .001% or something if even that.

obviously the part of the word they are having a difficult time wrapping their woke heads around is homo

The nobody can tell me what to do crowd can use unlimited and unfiltered "free speech/anti woke" verbiage in their free time. When our appraisal role is in play, we are supposed to act like professionals and that includes keeping up with trends and how we handle ourselves on social media when discussing sensitive appraisal topics.

No matter how much denial is thrown at it, "free speech" can have consequences. Being free to blurt out garbage does not mean you get a free pass if the garbage comes back to bite you.

Its not about blurting out garbage. Its about using common real estate terms, ones even appraisal institute or fannie mae use. Twisting and turning until our neighborhood description is there are dwellings here and there are sentient beings that live here with places they may or may not learn, may or may not shop at.

You always take it to a ridiculous extremes . There is a short list of words the GSE/entities do not want us to use , end stop. The garbage is when people are post for the primary objective of including an anti woke rant,.

We don't even know if Solidify actually "banned" this word , - They are an AMC and not a govt sponsored entity.

Amazing how that so called "short list" has grown over the years. The obvious words have been hands off for years. But the list is growing. Who would have thought that "master bedroom or bath" would become offensive. How about "walking distance or walkable" or even "family oriented". Most of the recent terms that have been banned is due to the SJWs. That spend their time looking for words that might offend even one person.

Appraising doesn't exist in a vacuum and your short list will ever expand.
