In the end, it is no one else’s business. But it’s sad when a beautiful, older house is torn down - one that suits the neighborhood and adds a community feeling - and one of those hideous things go up, all out of proportion to its lot size. In my brother’s area in the San Fernando valley, all the ranch houses are being destroyed and these things are being built by Iranians and Arabs. And they have very gaudy taste.
But, you’re right.
Indians love big houses, because they bring their entire extended family to live in them.
