I always think two is a waste of space that could be better used...but three? Probably doubles too.

There's no soul in any of those houses (the new money Canada ones I mean) doesn't matter how much money you have, they will always end up looking cookie cutter (albeit with virgin feathers adorning the countertops instead of granite / stainless steel that seems to be still the buzz words for kitchens)

We, however may be worse than the Canadians. We too can produce ghastly interiors. In doing so we may ruin delightful buildings

at least the McMansions are uniformly horrible and built in places where no one wants to go.

I thought the Newfie one looked quite nice. The Calgary ones are certainly subdivisiony, huge but squished together; that's what Mississauga looks like.
