On this week’s Lake Highlands podcast, we discuss whether there is truth to the rumor that McMansions are dead, and whether McMansions are a big deal to Lake Highlanders, either dead or alive.
Also, with all this talk about the possibilities of budget cuts and losing city services, is a tax increase an option? In that case, a smaller house would be better.
Stay tuned to the end for our shameless plugs: neighborhood discounts for a neighborhood cause (read more after the jump), grocery shopping at Braum’s, and a neighborhood church that helps us forget — for a few split seconds — that we live in a city.
