A recent article in New York magazine by Caitlin Flanagan—”The Ugliness Behind HGTV’s Never-Ending Fantasy Loop“—argues that HGTV is ruining the country by foisting a whitewashed, unrealistic, chauvinistic, tacky version of American life on an unwitting public that is unwittingly marching toward another housing bubble.
Something tells me the writer works from home and employs a nanny and a housekeeper, but can't hang drywall. While I'm not addicted, I have probably saved over $10,000 through the years by using HGTV for tutelage in home care and maintenance. I'd like to say I used it for a nanny and housekeeper, but mostly I used the savings to pay Connecticut taxes.
