[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[/quote]

Well, no, not exactly. I'm just trying to answer the question posed honestly. Say I get a few pizzas for my kid's birthday party. I'm not going to give every kid some cruddy 1/4 slice. They can have how much they want, depending on how hungry they are. But if some kid takes a whole pizza for himself, I'm going to assume he's taking more than he needs and feel annoyed. That's how I feel about people who live in giant houses--nobody needs that much space. It feels greedy and I just don't get it.[/quote]

except that the pizza is shared between children, property purchase boundaries are specific to each house so your example doesn't make sense unless you equate a common owner of the property giving equal shares of a single real estate which would equate a socialistic government giving equal shares to each citizen.[/quote]

It was a crude example, I admit. We don't share property, but we do share the planet and its resources. But, really, I was trying to explain a feeling. If you don't really get it, then you don't get it. [/quote]
