I sold a huge old farmhouse I lived in , in the country..the heating bills for just myself would have been ridiculous..downsized to a little house in town . dont need anymore then that. i like being simple. its amazing how little one needs to live if you really look at the absolute necessities.
mcmansions are half built around here, or in foreclosure. the developers went wild, and ruined a lot of the coastline with those cheap monoliths..faux homes in faux gated subdivisions now mostly up for sale and none of them selling.
so there is a moratorium now on them. i wont miss the uggliness one bit. but if people want them and can afford them, who am i to say how they should live. i am just glad they are not surviving here.
