McMansions: Finally Out of Style

Thank God that the fascination of lopping off hillsides to build your conspicuous-consumption-trophy-McMansion house is finally out of style.  It's overdone, obnoxious, and gross.  Plus, it's bad for the environment.  Nobody needs 6,000+ square feet.  You're just showing off.  Nobody is impressed.  Talk about an environmental crime.  You're a resource pig.  Yet these same people howl like crazy if widening the road is proposed or an apartment complex is proposed.
