McMansion

Curbed LA has a little tidbit on zoning in their CurbedWire. Apparently City Planning is looking to change provisions on single family homes. The rumor is that they will limit the construction of McMansions. LA is mostly infill so this doesn't affect huge tracks as much as the typical ethnic family that doesn't care about annoying their neighbors and stacks as much tacky square footage on their lot as possible (adding pink stucco and columns too). I'll be curious to watch this process. Generally, people in LA don't like to be told what to do on single family homes, but they love telling their neighbor...

    I hate all those Mcmansions that mostly, I think, asians with no design sense build. But I also blame the city for not implementing design guidelines by Architects and planners. A big problem in the urban filled old environments.

    I had the same experience but that is probably just because we lived in the San Gabriel Valley.
