BOO! Beware the Monster House!


The Strib has an article today about some new ordinances being considered for SW Minneapolis regarding the "growing" problem of "Monster Houses."

I can definitely see the neighborhoods concerns over preserving the historical charm of our city.

I can't understand why people would want to ruin the character of their homes just to Super Size them. Why not just move into a larger home or build on a suitable lot?

In the long run I think people are finding these extremely modified homes are much harder to sell than they think they will be. Many buyers bristle at homes where there are modern updates that don't match the period of the original home. There are exceptions to this of course but Sellers and Home Owners should know that bigger is not always better!
