[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like McMansions -- cookie cutter homes made with the cheapest possible parts. They're just not "charming." That doesn't mean I am a part of the "movement"..it's just my preference. I like smaller homes where I can actually see my family on a regular basis instead of them being on the other side of 6000 sq ft (example). Also, I don't want to heat/cool a big house. Again, just a preference.[/quote]

I hear these arguments over and over again

"cheapest possible parts" You do realize that most of the original tract 40s-70s housing stock in the DC area was low end and also used the "cheapest possible parts".

" I can actually see my family on a regular basis instead of them being on the other side" We see our family just as much as in our previous smaller home, in fact even more that we have an open floor plan

' I don't want to heat/cool a big house." Our heating and cooling bill was less than our old ramblers, just because the home is larger doesn't mean it is more costly to heat or cool.[/quote]
