Personally, I have always loathed the Mcmansion Monstrosities. Typically they have too many conflicting architectural styles under one roof: Palladian mixed with Tudor and Victorian? What is up with that?
Sure they boast big sq footage, but most of it is useless. A huge foyer, a sitting room, a sitting room off the master bedroom and a living room, a dining room and an eat in kitchen. 2 baths and 2 half baths.
I mean how much foyering, sitting, eating and shltting can you do? And most families aren't exactly the 8 children families that they were at the begining of the 20th century.
Don't get me started on low quality materials! A complete waste that just plays into American's appetite for ostentation, waste and more ostentation.
Of yeah, I forgot to mention, I like the "Cottage" style of the 1920s. Small homes with good materials and lots of detail work on moderate sized lots.
That is all.
