I agree with you. I dislike like the McMansion trend only as a matter of taste. They look, to me, like personal islands for the overly self-indulgent, and provide nothing to enhance the exterior environment.

I’m with you. But I’ll add, I have no problem with the size of the homes, but this postage stamp lot thing is for the birds. We live in a 25 year old 2,700 sq ft home on a 1/3 acre lot. These new homes on cramped lots are what I see as 21st century trailer parks.
We LOVE our yard. The nearest house to ours is approximately 40 feet away. It is like living on a private park - at least compared to any new home in our area worth less than $1.5mm.
