[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote] 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.[/quote] 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. [/quote] NP but if you don't realize that sustainability, community, and segregation impact lives outside of the homeowners, you're a very shallow thinker. [/quote] I don't like any of the houses the blog mocks and it's fun to poke fun at the houses and speculate how people can have so much money and so bad taste at the same time. But your comments about sustainability, community and segregation are just as cringeworthy as any badly designed McMansion. And accusing people of being shallow thinkers for not meeting your self-imposed standards and introducing an unnecessary (and highly dubious) morality is also quite cringeworthy. I have a feeling I'd probably enjoy the company of the owners of these McMansions than you and I'm someone who'd far rather live in a small rowhouse in the city and walk everywhere than have 10k sqft.
