[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow some strange definitions of a McMansion here.  Probably because so many of you live in McMansions.  And 8 bedroom 16,000 sq ft house is an actual mansion.  A 4500 sq ft house with 4 bedrooms built on a postage stamp lot within spitting distance of your neighbor is a McMansion.  Often times a McMansion will have a couple of cavern sized rooms that are absurdly large. A friend of mine has a family room that's so big, the 60" TV hanging on the wall looks tiny from the couch 20 feet away.  It's way more room than a family of 4 needs.[/quote]

The weird thing is that so many of you who live in shitshacks don't seem to mind the "actual mansions," but the thought that someone you actually know lives in a bigger house than you do sends you off into such a frenzy (cue the "we could easily afford to live in a 6000 sq ft house, but we chose a house with [i]craftsmanship[/i].(sic)").    [/quote]

The old "shitshacks" as you call them are worth way more than the new developments.  I guess you can afford one  :oops: [/quote]

The land underneath the shitshacks may be worth something.  The houses themselves, not so much. [/quote]

Who, pray tell, do you think will want to live in your mass produced, medium sized, tasteless little shack out in Loudon anyway?  The fact that these structures are so easy and cheap to build will tell you everything about their construction and quality.

I will take my beautiful Chevy Chase mansion (by your standards, which are ludicrously small) any day.[/quote]
