      Corpo housing isn’t mcmansions. They’re factory built homes shipped to site and dropped on locally poured foundations, sometimes with basements.

      Sure, they can be decent sized, but the mcmansion is overly large and aimed at a different crowd, a crowd that’s increasingly unable to afford them.

      Source; I grew up in a corpo housing development from the 60s or 70s. The houses all looked identical from the outside, but had a few different floor plans, one down the street was actually two of the wrong halves put together, which meant that one of the closets didn’t have a door and could only be accessed by someone crawling in through a gap near the ceiling.

      Thankfully there was no HOA, so the houses quickly picked up some individuality.
