'Tis very true, mate. Up until the 1990's most new houses were "right sized" to the human scale.
Then....ta-da....some real estate genius decided to foist off Mac Mansions as the better way to
live today. What a seriously dumb idea!!
I really feel sorry for all the people who have been sucked into the Mac Mansion lifestyle because
if oil prices cause the economy to tank like I think it will these suburban Mac Mansion tract houses
will be a new slum when they all wind up in the street.
Folk's used to know how to build, and live in,right sized homes and property. My old house is a monster
at 1700 sq ft!!!
