Demonising McMansions

Let me declare myself unambiguously: I do not hate McMansions, just because they are easy to hate.

For quite a few years now, anybody who gets to write  about them, has consistently demonised these oversized single family homes as not just individually ugly, ill designed and unsustainable, but as also adding up to suburbs where life must by definition, be isolated and destructive of community.
