On plots of land that are way, way to small for them. This is an essential part of the definition McMansion.

Woa woa. What does a grandma helping out have anything to do with new or old money? Or class? In a lot of cultures, it's not even thought of as helping out. She's part of the family - raised her children, and now they choose to support her. And way to throw a racial slur in there too. Goodness. Not to mention, to my knowledge, there are many more Indian ppl with tech money than Pakistanis. Or maybe I don't know the 'correct' usage of that term.

Reston has some hardcore HOAs...you couldn't build that in Reston...

Potomac is almost respectable, y'all. Ashburn, Leesburg, Darnestown.
