- I won't be able make fun of the families that live in those monstrosities.
- I can't afford it.
- I love my recently purchased townhouse, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
- thinking of keeping a McMansion makes me shudder. I'm a messy person.
- I ****hate**** moving. I never want to do it again.
- it seems like such a waste of money.

Not true. We are not buying them because they are wasteful and unnecessary. We are smarter. Sorry.
This.
I have money, and you better believe I'm not going to waste it on your crappy McMansion.
This hasn't happened in DC to the same degree as the rest of the country, but the McMansion suburbs are turning into new ghettos as young professionals prioritize short commutes and city amenities en masse.

Oh well. We still have a ton of money and plan to enjoy our retirement. Guess that means the Millenial kids and the grandkids will get even smaller inheritances.
Good for you! Most people view their home as an investment and would be sad if their house updates actually decreased the value of their home. Enjoy retirement - I hope the money doesn't run out early and you end up wanting to mooch off your family members.
Who said anything about "house updates"? Our home was built with all the amenities we wanted and more.
And, no, our money would not run out, even if the substantial equity we have in our house were to dwindle to nothing due to the imaginary antipathy that everyone is now supposed to harbor towards larger, nicer homes. But I do appreciate your concern (sic).
I think you need to look up how to use sic.
If that's the best you can come up with, it should surprise no one that your housing options are circumscribed and that you are reduced to kvetching about other people's homes.
No, they have a point. If you don't know how to use "sic," there are probably dozens of other things you don't understand.
Also, for as much as you McMansion owners say you love and are proud of your homes, you are obviously deeply insecure about them as some of you have a compulsive need to post frequently in defense of your homes as well as to attempt to denigrate the housing choices of others, but especially when you perceive someone can't afford your showy house.
I enjoy mocking McMansions as an idle, time-passing hobby in the car, a little habit I picked up in college as an architecture minor.
