[quote=Anonymous]I don't get the giant builds out in Loudon either, but think of them as gilded age mansions... which is what they are, even if they are the cheap 2 million dollar version and not the elaborate 20 million dollar version. A lot of people will say they're for extended families. This is somewhat true, typically from families who came here from countries where that's how their social class lived--or aspired to live. It's the South, people won't come out and say it but a lot of people have a gentleman farmer/estate fantasy about the good life down here, and developers can buy up farmland for cheap and make their dreams come true. I don't get it either, usually they're architecturally terrible, and all those expanses of useless lawn (tended by workers without any job security), just seem cold and empty to me. But people like it. They think it's the American dream. [/quote]
