This is the point I made in my post on this thread. I say go ahead and build the mansion but don't put it in the middle of a modest development like some looming tower that prevents all sun from shining down on the little people.
Excellent point.I was thinking about a back road (wish I had a picture) in East Tennessee, one of the most beautifully naturally landscaped curving road I have ever seen. Some dufus built a Mcmansion castle, complete with the stone fence out front (in an awful clash with the split rail fences along the road). Terribly tacky assault upon God's creation and the neighborhood.
