in a small 'sleepy' town, about 100 miles south of me, there is an area of about 6 city blocks, where just about EVERY house has been converted into a studio. You walk into their living rooms, and many of them have been gorgeously transformed into "beautiful" tracking rooms with control rooms viewing in thru the bedroom walls that have long gone and have been replaced with large windows. They even call it Music Row and have gone as far as constructing new buildings on the corners of the blocks, naming the buildings after TV sets...like Sony, etc. On the outskirts of such said city, there are literally hundreds of home studios that have that "magic" look once you walk thru their front doors. ....and they even have basements that aren't converted...they did it all UPSTAIRS!!
Some of the nicest ones ARE in the remote areas, surrounding the city, located on nice farms, with enough parking for a couple tour busses or three. They might even boast a couple of Studers or even a SSL.... and all in your living room! Shit, one of them even calls itself the "Castle"! One is also in the [Sound] Kitchen...and they have about 4 studios in that complex!!

Only in America !
It goes without saying that people are passionate about their studios and rightly so when you put so much into it. I guess its like customising a car only loads more satisfying.
Sorry if I misquoted mixmkr, I feel like a tabloid journalist now !
I should have included reference to the other parts of his post.
I got another question, why do peeps build studios in the first place and who are the people that do it. For myself, my son is musical and I have faith in his ability that I'm building it to develop him but at the same time I'm developing myself too.
