There's an entire post on how, aesthetics aside, mcmansion-style houses are rife with problems. The tl;dr of it is that they're a very bad investment, massively energy and co2 inefficient, maintenance intensive (due to large size and low-quality materials) and often have badly cut corners. There's also a final point about the size being isolating, but that's a bit more subjective IMHO. http://www.mcmansionhell.com/post/150597521816/mcmansions-101-revisited-aesthetics-aside-why http://www.mcmansionhell.com/post/150597521816/mcmansions-10...
