What do people dislike most about McMansions? Apparently it's their height:
From Reuters:
It's not the columns or the sweeping driveways that irk neighbors about the huge modern McMansion next door -- it's the height, according to a U.S. study.
A study by Ohio State University found people particularly disliked the super-sized, modern houses known as McMansions that were sprouting up in U.S. suburbs as they were often more than two times as tall as surrounding homes.
"Participants in the study didn't have any problem with large houses in general, but they disliked it when one house was significantly larger than the others on the block," said Jack Nasar, professor of city and regional planning, in a statement.
