Big Houses profiled on 60 Minutes

[lindismith]

Did anyone see 60 Minutes last night?

There was a story about Big Homes – 10 and 15,000 feet! Crazy!

One home they profiled had 7 bathrooms! (There were 3 people living there.)

Another had wood floors styled after the Palace at Versailles!

Talk about keeping up with the Joneses.

I wonder who cleans those big houses?

You’d have to spend all your free time maintaining a 6000sf house, unless, of course you had a maid and gardener which would add $$$ to the monthly expenses.

Does anyone here live in a McMansion? If so, who cleans it?

good question, Perry.

California and Texas obviously have access to lots of cheap immigrant labor. I don’t know what they do in places like CT.

A quote from the report:
Paul Knox, the dean of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech, sums up the endless tracts of overweight houses as a new national suburb he calls “Vulgaria.”
