And I do like the term "McMansion"!


We have some of them around here. Big houses, big price, tossed up quickly

cheap nonunion labor. CC&Rs out the ying-yang.

We call them "tract mansions"...... ggg


HAW!

We have a half-dozen of them going up near here in an area that was
last developed twenty years ago. Just for yah-yahs I'm going to
check out the CC&Rs after they are open for sale.


Probably don't allow you to have a pair of rabbit ears on the TV set.

What I find most intriguing is that the tower was there long before the
McMansions were built, so the builders and the buyers were not surprised. Now
they're all upset. Just like when the Blue Route was finally built here in the
Philadelphia area.

Not uncommon at all, Jim. In my area, we have farmers that hve sold off
land for development, after which the people that moved into the
development sued to shut the farmer down because of the noxious smells
emanating from the farm.

I don't blame it entirely on the people suing, the farmer had to be
pretty stupid to not know that "development people don't like nature
very much.......
