I love the fact that, correct me if I'm wrong, because I might have gotten a detail skew here, but the party's being held at a model home, right? It's not like somebody's house.
Scott DalyHOST
51:44
Yeah, it's an empty McMansion, I think is what we're told.
Matt FreemanHOST
51:48
Okay.
Matt FreemanHOST
51:49
Yeah, for some reason my brain was like, oh, so it's like a demo model home, but it's empty for some reason.

I don't think he made it clear whether it was his farm or not.
Scott DalyHOST
78:15
It would be interesting that if it is his dad's farm and then he is like a farmer and that is part of the chip on his shoulder is that he's perceived as lower class.
Scott DalyHOST
78:22
I mean, like I said, they're partying in a McMansion.
Scott DalyHOST
78:26
It seems like most of the people that go to the school are rather well off.
Caroline O'DonoghueHOST
16:57
But Debbie, pastels.
Sarah Maria GriffinGUEST
17:00
Or Debbie sitting in the car as the McMansion explodes in the background, you know.
Sarah Maria GriffinGUEST
17:06
Or the, I wanted a Malibu, or I wanted a ballerina Barbie.
Sarah Maria GriffinGUEST
17:09
And they get me what? Malibu Barbie.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:38
You know, you had this idealized looking family.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:41
I mean, I was jealous of the McMansion and all the trips they were taking, you know.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:46
Yeah.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:46
And this seemingly wonderful marriage.
PhilHOST
77:51
I mean, people can't...
PhilHOST
77:53
We kind of peeked out at the McMansions.
PhilHOST
77:56
I don't think the houses are getting much bigger.
PhilHOST
77:58
I mean, at this point, I know more people that talk about downsizing their homes than upsizing their homes, unless they're starting a family.
Siobhan ScottGUEST
9:08
You know, you had this idealized looking family.
Siobhan ScottGUEST
9:12
I mean, I was jealous of the McMansion and all the trips they were taking, you know, and this seemingly wonderful marriage.
Siobhan ScottGUEST
9:19
But people generally don't flip on dimes.
Siobhan ScottGUEST
9:23
There's the underlying emptiness, and her husband may have been very out of touch with what was really going on with her internally.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:08
You know, you had this idealized looking family.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:11
I mean, I was jealous of the McMansion and all the trips they were taking, you know.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:16
Yeah.
Shavaun ScottGUEST
7:16
And this seemingly wonderful marriage, but people generally don't flip on dimes.
Chris LissHOST
33:41
That's actually reasonable.
Chris LissHOST
33:42
You know, you don't want these McMansions.
Chris LissHOST
33:45
but it's way, way, way beyond that.
Chris LissHOST
33:50
And so, you know, you don't like to see in Brazil the communist control freaks when you don't want, those people, they know what's best for you.
Mark BittmanGUEST
16:10
And the rural part of Connecticut, for the most part, is not farms anymore.
Mark BittmanGUEST
16:13
It's either McMansions, horse farms for really wealthy people, wealthy suburbs, or there are some old summer estates, but also summer farms or big pieces of property that have been in families for years and years in the eastern part of the state.
Mark BittmanGUEST
16:32
But in any case, I could see food getting worse and worse and worse.
Mark BittmanGUEST
16:38
I could see less food coming from farms.
Kerry MurdochHOST
65:13
I don't know what that meant.
SpinozziHOST
65:13
They're really big McMansions, so they're really big houses.
SpinozziHOST
65:17
And so people in vans come from all over.
SpinozziHOST
65:19
Vans and SUVs from all around the metro and surrounding areas come to the other neighborhood.
George YacusGUEST
21:11
So if you move into Chesapeake and you move into a multifamily area, sit down at city center where you've got an apartment and where things are happening, that's what you bought into.
George YacusGUEST
21:20
If you bought into a community that has McMansions and they've got one acre plots and you're in a regular approved subdivision, that's what you expect to maintain.
George YacusGUEST
21:31
So if you're in maybe a lower socioeconomic housing area, neighborhoods, That's what you bought and that's kind of what you want to maintain.
George YacusGUEST
21:40
So we want to make sure that our zoning is good so people all of a sudden they move into an area and the character changes because we've allowed businesses, we've allowed multifamily units to move in where single family houses have traditionally been located.

George YacusGUEST

They do not want to have development or industrial sites there where they've had traditional farms for generations and generations.
George YacusGUEST
42:31
So again, it goes back to maintaining community character where we use our zoning and so forth to make sure that if it's a multifamily area, that's where we should build our other multifamily homes.
George YacusGUEST
42:42
If it's a traditional McMansions or whatever, more of a upscale development area, we won't wanna retain that because that's what those people bought into when they first got here.
George YacusGUEST
42:51
So I think it's just a question of sorting out the development into places where that type of development already exists.
