The McMansion will become the new multi-family home for the poor. “What is going to happen is lower and lower-middle income families squeezed out of downtown and glamorous suburban locations are going to be pushed economically into these McMansions at the suburban fringe. There will probably be 10 people living in 1 house.”

the “suburbs == slums of the future” meme is taking hold. many low-density suburbs and McMansion subdivisions, including some that are lovely and affluent today, may become what inner cities became in the 1960s and ’70s-slums characterized by poverty, crime, and decay.
