Like many things in life, the McMansions stick out because of their size and become the topic of most conversations.
But, when I travel around the lakes, I still see that the very large majority of homes are owned by hard-working, middle-class, families, whom in many cases have owned the property for generations.
Then everyone wants to tax the "rich" and the taxes reach the point where the hard working family can no longer justify owning the property. They sell to a richer family who does a tear-down on the "little" house... and the cycle continues.
Be careful what you wish for.
