Well a McMansion from an architectural viewpoint is actually one of the ugliest creations the US has seen. They are generally a hodgepodge of styles and elements that creates what I like to call "architectural vomit". Because size was more important than quality, these homes also are typically built with inferior products and they are not in any way efficient.

Anytime you have a boom in housing you get poor housing. Alot of the vinyl sided boxes you refer to were earlier booms. In reality, the US hasn't seen quality housing since the 40s. Thats why I'm primarily looking at homes built in 1920s neighborhoods.

McMansions are the box wines of the housing market, where volume trumps taste.

THe vinyl sided Jungles I mentioned are fairly new.... built for that price-point.

Lot's of footage, seem to be the goal with the cheapest of materials used, typically very close together.

I am very happy with my McMansion, thank you.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.
