Unchecked "mansionization" of established older neighborhoods is the result of "me-first, I've got mine" attitudes by both builders and the cities that encourage them.
"Infectious greed can be seen on streets and in neighborhoods from Torrance to Tarrytown. You can see it in the mansionization of many of the South Bay's most classic neighborhoods where, despite the protests of residents, the original moderate-size homes are sold and quickly demolished. In their place, out-of-scale, block-busting monuments to self rise up apart from the community, above and beyond, in harmony with nothing, making no effort to be part of anything greater than themselves."
