Aesthetically Accurate Building

When laying out your systems, do you try to maintain an eye pleasing look to the system?

For example, if you see a large group of potential customers to put a station near but it's a rural/suburban area full of ranch homes, do you not build there cause that wouldn't make sense/look good for an above or below ground train station to be there or you build cause it's a game and it's not real anyway?

I'm trying to only stick to commercial areas and high-density housing is located in cities and open land that's near malls along highways for communities in suburban areas. Respecting golf courses and cemeteries can be annoying in terms of costs.

Cause at the end of the day, what's really stopping anyone from just building an entire above ground system over any and everything to get the most ridership and revenue?
