I was recently up in Wheaton, IL for the first time in ten years. I drove around my grandparent's old subdivision.

I was horrified to see many of the stately, high-quality, post-war 2500 sq. ft. houses sitting on nice-sized lots had been razed and huge McMansions had been shoehorned in their place.
