Dont you get it, its the cool new word used by those on the left to criticize those who work hard and can afford to buy what they want and in some cases, need.
When you look at those criticizing anything that others have, it seems to always be soemone on the left, odd how that works, even odder to think that those on the left think they will convince me to burn down my McMansion (after all, its bad to sell and make a profit from) and build a small 1 bedroom bungalow.
Guess you missed all the posts knocking Gore, Edwards, etc., because of their homes and how they live????
How many families do you know with 5 children? I don't know anybody with more than 3 and most have 1 or 2 if they have any! Now I have had 4 and our house is 2000 sq ft and we got along just fine.
I actually know quite a few families with 5 children. I also know some families that have had relatives living with them. my point is this. there are exceptions to the rule. you can't label a group by the actions of a few, even if those few are the majority. no sense in calling someone a pig because they want bigger things. I personally would live in a penthouse or something if I was rich, or a nice big condo where I could walk to everything and not need a car.
Also, I'm not talking about bureaucrats and aristocrats. I'm talking about Joe six-pack.
Even the Soviet Union had mansions for the elite commissars. So owning a McMansion is extremely "Soviet"?
If you say so, comrade!
There goes someone out in koo koo land.. I'm talking about George Washington and to make an argument you have to go into some tangent about being communist thats so illogical that it doesnt deserve a response..
I have never heard of a law that says what temperature you have to rinse your clothes -
OKey dokey then ...just go out and try to buy a washer like I JUST DID...they are all cold water rinse and the salemen told me they cannot make machines with warm water rinse anymore.
American is fast becoming a "nanny state" with everyone seeminly knowing what is best for everyone else....and not hesitating to try to force their opinions onto everyone elses lives. Whatever became of American independence? People use everything from health insurance to the environment as an excuse to regulate other people's private life and choices. The truth is, some people just can not accept the fact that other people won't accept their edicts as law.
sadly, their edicts are the very same laws that i hate!

I did - about a month ago - fancy thing too - has a bunch of cycles - including a warm water rinse -
"Un-American"??? LOLOLOL - That's too funny - and wrong of course
"Boring"????? LOLOLOL - Again - too funny! - and again - wrong
Right, my 6,000 sf home, is far from boring or unamerican, (considering that it was build ages ago and was added onto) With 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, livingroom, familyroom, office, 8 car garage, 3 acres of peaceful land, 2 driveways, office, 1,000 + enclosed porch in the middle of a town 2 miles from the mall, stores, offices, everything I'd need, is very far from boring. What was boring was the house I'm moving out of near the city, not near one grocery store, with parking costs up the butt because of taxes, income taxes to the point that they are choking.
Funny to think that some people think its the same individuals who think that McMansions are "unamerican" that want to force government programs on you like healthcare, regulations, socialism, welfare...
At what point (size) does a home become a "McMansion" to you?
A McMansion is not about size, but about cookie cutter developments. In a town near Raleigh, Cary (referred to a Concentrated Area of Relocated Yankees), overpriced McMansions run at around 600K and about 3000sqft, on top of each other. That's a McMansion.
According to the way you describe your place, it isn't a McMansion.
