You're absolutely correct.
I have a brain teaser for you. If there were two buildings across the street from each other, absolutely identical on the inside and cost of living were the same, but one building is ugly as sin on the outside and the other was a gorgeous building in an architectural style you greatly admire - which building would you choose to live in? If you live in the ugly building, then when you look out the window you see the really nice building, but you know you live in the building that looks crappy. If you live in the nice building, you'd have to look at the ugly building when you look outside. So which is it?
