Some on the political left oppose the detached single family home. Condemning "suburban sprawl" filled with "McMansions" built by "greedy developers" is the rhetoric used to stop the rif raff from buying homes that they want.
- h2odragon 5y agoBah. No politics are necessary here. There's enough and more to mock in this home from the sheer dysfunctional excess. If a home is primarily a place for people to live, this place fails in many, many ways.
- tibbydudeza 5y agoNo house needs to be so big - US houses are insane in their sizes.
- soylentcola 5y agoI'm sure you can find "some" who say just about anything. Doesn't change the fact that this is just a blog that pokes fun at questionable architectural choices.
- CapitalistCartr 5y agoI don't object to Levittown at all. What I object to is that building any other way isn't allowed. The politicians talk about "Low-income housing" where I live, while sabotaging it all. Zoning, lending, prevent anything different, such as European-style mixed-use.
- nivenkos 5y ago> such as European-style mixed-use. Property prices in Europe are even higher than the US though (per m2).
- brianwawok 5y agoYou can't make a claim as broad of that. Compare say.. rural Poland vs SF. 100x price increase?
- BizarroLand 5y agoFlip that around it's like you're comparing Downtown Paris to Macon, Georgia. Keep it apples to apples and chances are they'll be somewhat closer.
- mint2 5y agoWhy does everything have to immediately become somehow about the “left” or “right”. This is just a wholesome roast of ridiculous McMansion architecture. Bad architecture isn’t left or right.
