“When housing market returns, we’ll want smaller homes closer together”
That asshole must have a mouse in his pocket, he sure doesn’t speak for me!
I don’t know who they have been talking too, but it sure ain’t most red-blooded Americans.
Seems more like wishful thinking on the part of left-wing idiots than anything else.
Just as it was in their beloved Soviet Union.
I have a 3,000 sq ft, 2 bathroom, five bedroom farm house with a dining room, living room, family room, kitchen, nursery, laundry room, utility room, and a sun room on 2 acres with a 2,500-3,000 sq ft barn and a smaller barn with a small vineyard and a fruit orchard. It’s just me and I spend more time at my girlfriends house. I was thinking clearly when I bought it.
I like a big house on a big lot. I like more room than I “need”. I like fast cars and fast boats. I like good cigars and good wine. I don’t care if other people don’t like what I like.
Anyone would recognize me as an American.
I’ve never heard of property tax rates based on your floor covering.
wasn’t thinking clearly I meant.
One reason city planners like more houses per acre is the increase in tax revenues.
BINGO! We have a winner here!! ;-D.
Have a look at THE ICLEI MEMBER LIST. If your community is one of these dues paying members, you are paying for the loss of your unalienable rights.
I think that's a long way off. For the most part, the McMansion houses are boxy, ugly and cheaply built. Retiring baby boomers on fixed incomes don't want to live in a house like that. People are downsizing, but personally, I still like to have some space. And some of the deed restrictions they have in these "master planned" communities are just plain silly.
Exactly. The commies won't be happy until we call ourselves USSR.
Exactly. It's their wet dream. But why stop at little homes ? Why not put us all in Soviet style high rise apartment buildings placed conveniently near train stations ?
I’d rather live in a 1910 bungalow on a half-acre lot.
Uh, your crime in Ohio Major cities is substantially higer per capita than LA and other majors cities .

Make that 30 million and ONE And I will be thrilled beyond words
I think mathematically everyone will fit in Texas on an acre of land. I’d have to review the numbers again too. It blows people’s minds, they still won’t believe it.
No, I want ROOM in my house and SPACE between me and my neighbors!
I vote yours the best post of 2011!
