Theyve been called McMansions, Starter Castles, Garage Mahals and Faux Chateaus but heres the latest thing you can call them � History.
Reports CNBC: In the past few years, there have been an increasing number of references made to the �McMansion glut� and the �McMansion backlash,� as more towns pass ordinances against garishly large homes, which are generally over 3,000 square feet and built very close together.
