Mcmansions are criticized for a combination of their absolute size, for being the size of traditional custom built mansions but being built in dull subdivisions like ordinary suburban houses (thus MCmansions) and for their specific architectural charecteristics, esp their combination of traditional (georgian or french baroque) detailing with features like multiple car garages, and their multiplicity of roof lines. The criticisms are architectural, planning, and social, though in many instances those come together.

For the purposes of this blog, whats relevant is the sheer size, I think, not the architectural details.
