I'm with you on the outrage, Joe (also here in NC, same city IIRC). We have a split level with brick on the bottom and siding on top. After just dropping $6k or so last year to reside the top level with vinyl, I definitely wish it was brick. Why I would ever paint my brick to then require painting every 5-7 years in the future baffles me. As far as I know the red NC bricks aren't going out of style. Plenty of new construction with brick or brick panels that look very similar to our brick.
I haven't seen the painted brick trend in my 'hood but I'll have to take notice on my walks around the neighborhood. I might not live in a nice enough neighborhood where people have so much money they don't need to worry about painting periodically.
