We've have a crapload of McMansion Subdivisions built here.
6000 sq ft....$500,000+ butt-ugly monstrosities sitting within 75 feet or less of the next butt-ugly monstrosity.
brickface fronts....vinyl sides and backs
Worse yet is the zero lot line McMansions. If I am gonna spend $500,000+ for a house I sure as heck don't wanna know what my neighbors had for dinner every time they fart.
I want property and privacy. Maybe even a cement pond.
Here in Southern Oregon the hillsides are filling up with monstrosities that look completely out of place, more like the Hollywood Hills than Southern Oregon.
One such house has four stories and takes up almost the entire ridge. You drive up the road towards it and the retaining wall goes up 40 feet off the ground.
Another house was just built in a little farm community. 10 million dollars to build, two indoor swimming pools, an indoor basketball court, it looks like they tried to reproduce Blenheim House.
Oh, and the number of people living there? TWO people!
And none of these house have any land, they all are built within ten feet or so of the lot line.
Yuck.
