A subjective eyesore shouldn't stop them from getting installed if they're functional.

I tend to think garages are an eyesore, and yet, basically everyone (including me) wants one included with their home.

Similarly the real eyesore in neighbourhoods is all the cars and the assorted infrastructure dedicated to them.

40% of Australian households have rooftop solar. You get used to the look very quickly, and well-installed ones look perfectly fine.

It's so common for me I literally don't think I see them anymore (because it's just part of the roof)

I know they are on every second house, but gun to my head I could not tell you how many have it on my street.

...and don't get me started about all those tin cans with wheels parked all over the place outside of garages! I consider myself lucky to have several windows in my apartment where I usually don't see one of those eyesores when I look out of it...
