"McMansion" Part 2

I couldn't find the draft I saved so here goes the rest of that blog.
What I don't agree with the author about is that the sameness and bigness of houses is everywhere. Having just bought our very first house (we haven't closed yet), I can tell you that the house is not new, terribly large nor does it look like any other house on the block. None of the other houses on the dead end street it is on look like any other house they might be next too. It doesn't even have a garage, we are hoping to build one. And the house is in the foothills outside of Morrison. I suppose it would qualify as suburbs, cuz it is definitely not city dwelling. There is a park that was built because the residents fought for it. A wonderful place for children or to walk the dog. Yes, those houses and "communities" are out there in force, but it is each individuals choice as to whether they find one of those houses or something secluded and quiet in the mountains.
