SocraticGadfly: More than just McMansions

More than just McMansions

Seattle Weekly, that city’s alt-weekly, has a variety of names for the more obnoxious eyesores among today’s homestyles in the Emerald City. (I use the word “homes” loosely.)

There’s the FAR-monster of floor-area ratio problems, the Misfit of bad exterior design, the Pig Nose of an extra-ugly two-car garage snout, the Appalachian (or fill in other southern joke), the Iraq-inspired Green Zone Special and more.

Check it out. There’s even a link at the end of the story to the worst offenders.
