Generally speaking, classifying a house as "McMansion" feels like a form of gatekeeping. If the person who lives there enjoys it, who are we to judge?

[bluebarbet]

That logic would make all cultural criticism verboten.

You don't have to sell me on it, I was already convinced.

I will shit on your porch and you will have to respect my cultural decisions as you step over it.

[MarkusQ]

See, the "your" in there is what we call a possessive pronoun. It indicates that something (in this case, my porch) is owned by someone (in this case, me). That makes what you are proposing doing a property rights issue, not cultural criticism.

Shit on your own porch all you want.

[asdff]

Fine, I will shit on the public sidewalk easement.

[MarkusQ]

Again, that's public (shared), not yours.

Not sure how (or why) you've gone from "we shouldn't be judging other people's taste" to "I get to defecate wherever I want."

[NewsaHackO]

Huh

[ImPostingOnHN]

If you want to shit on your own porch, and while you're at it, redesign your porch to look like shit, more power to you.

There's actually a housing shortage in the US so it's not like this is an architecture that is responsive to consumer or cultural preference and demand - local zoning laws do not even permit such freedom.
