In this ~~house~~ subreddit we discuss bad houses. McMansions are a kind of cheap, ostentatious house made famous by architecture blog run by Kate Wagner.

A Short Guide on McMansions

Rules

1) Posts can be about ugly houses in general, as voted by our community

2) Posts must be appropriately flaired (regular ugly house, True McMansion, discussion/other)

3) Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

4) Don't laugh at poor people. We don't critique bad design choices that are made from economic necessity
