Inverse condemnation

Our thanks to Dwight Merriam for responding to yesterday's post on "Maui Mansionism" and noting the more common terms "McMansion," "starter palace," and (my favorite) "garage Mahal." He's also kindly forwarded two powerpoint presentations on regulation of big and tall homes: Monster Mash: Putting a Stop to Too-Big Houses (3mb pdf) and Teardown and Mansionization (4mb pdf). Read his land use posts at IMLA's Local Government blog, and his book The Complete Guide to Zoning which we reviewed here.
