[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the idea of everyone trying to live as economically (space-wise) as possible so we don't end up building over the entire planet. So the McMansion thing just bothers me. I guess it seems superfluous and greedy and inefficient. I would rather see cities with mass transit and lots of open parkland around them.[/quote]

Here is what you want, soviet style, everyone has the same amount of efficient space and mass transit

That's a leap of logic. Are you the same person who hears "sensible gun regulations" and imagines Obama's jack-booted army of The Brotherhood of Islam paratroopers shooting your kids, taking your guns, and putting you to work in some gulag? Metaphors purposefully mixed to reflect a fun cross section of some of the wild eyed pro-gun comments I've read recently.

S/he's not suggesting an enforced policy of sameness, she's saying gently that maybe some people are using more than their fair share of resources.[/quote]
NO this is about housing not politics and that isn't me .

Well it's a way of showing how some people want everything small, the same and have mass transit, this is what you end up. As an american I am proud of the fact that my country let's me live and buy a home in whatever manner I wish whether it be big small or medium. [/quote]

And as an American, I'm sure you're aware of how zoning codes and policies create preferential treatments for sprawling SFHs, right? How "choice" in SFH new build is something of an illusion? I'm the PP who would love a newer, larger (than my tiny townhouse) home - I do not want a McMansion. If I want a new home and can't scrape up the cash for an architect's fees, I have no choices, basically. I can pick from huge, huger, or hugest.[/quote]
