Not all big new homes are McMs, obviously  But some are, and McMs are truly horrible -- and you know a McM when you see one.  It's not jealousy -- it's just being fair to a simple sense of aesthetics.

I would never trade my smaller, older home for a McM.  I would, however, trade it for a newer home that is well built, architecturally correct, and appropriate for the lot and neighborhood -- and close in with a very short commute.  Those kinds of homes are, however, too expensive for me.    :) [/quote]

Agreee with you -my older home, in a highly desirable close in  neighborhood built by an architect! -charming details has major issues - lack of structural footings (added steel so it stays standing), bad plumbing - heating - electric (fixed), mold (hope that is fixed).  $$$ every year.    I'd like a larger newer home too - architecturally contextual, well built fitting needs of a large family.

But interestingly even those archtiecturally correct/ right for lot size, in our neighborhood can be critized as too large "mcmansions"  - often by people who have large homes - but older homes. [/quote]
