Whopper homes

Many of these going up in my area. I firmly believe that most residents wouldn't mind the oversized houses on small lots IF, and I mean IF, the builder would utilize professional architects to design these homes and use high quality materials to construct and detail them. What most object to is big, ugly, cheap-looking vinyl boxes next to classic stone mansions with slate roofs, windows that are well proportioned, real brick or stone chimneys, and extensive wood trim and detailing. IMO, that's the real rub. But it's very difficult to legislate good design taste.
