Thanks! That's a good laugh! Turret front door entry! With the smallest door ever! Ruins included!

The girl who makes this site is uber annoying. I’m not a fan of oversized McMansions either, but let people live and like what they like.

She's a woman, not a child. Her writing focus is not just aesthetic - but how these homes lack sustainability, undermine sense of community, and exacerbate de facto housing segregation.

Sorry Ms. Feminista

And yeah, again that’s their choice. Why invest so much energy into something that doesn’t impact your life. The gi...err woman who writes this just comes across as sad and desperate. I’d never even want a home like this, but if people want to spend money on these giant wastes of space, good on them.

NP but if you don't realize that sustainability, community, and segregation impact lives outside of the homeowners, you're a very shallow thinker.

Another NP here. She has a master’s degree in architecture and is a published critic. This does impact her life, just like a bad movie impacts a film critic’s life.

What a waste of time

Mad Virginia lames with questionable taste are going to be extra salty about this post.

"BUT, BUT HOUSING APPRECIATION!!!"

So those are “Mc” mansions, as in she considers them small?

Topic fail. This woman is an idiot. These are actually mansions, not McMansions.

I can see if it was an oversized SFH with ugly trimmings and a 2 story foyer, but these are not that.

No, the Mc references the low-quality, thoughtless craftsmanship, like a McDonald's burger.

Hilarious!
