Kate Wagner is a national treasure. Kate has been on Trillbillys and the blog perfectly encapsulates the foam and stucco subprime-mortgaged exurbs plaguing our land.
Some of my favs:

Fucking love McMansion hell. Always a great time laughing at rich people with poor taste and massive insecurities
I kinda like how fancy that pool table is but admittedly I have no taste
Never saw this site before. Looked at the two links you posted and found it interesting. Went to the front page to do some archive browing and then Jesus Christ in his heaven. https://mcmansionhell.com/post/635435396215521280/we-interrupt-this-broadcast-to-bring-you-an

My pathetic attempts to describe it: Groverhaus x vaporwave x hoarding x antique shop x year round christmas store
Would have been 10x funnier if they had a wall mounted landline handset in there.
What the FUCK
Lmao I'm a couple drinks deep and the captions literally had me crying
There's an ineffable glory to its horror that I will never fully be able to put into words.

Looking at those photos fills me with uneasiness and dread. I think that house might actually be a portal to hell.
Holy crap I just looked at the first picture of the outside and it's awful but par for the course for that site but then oh my fucking god why did i scroll down
McMansions are the official architecture of American suburbanism so I hate them with a passion.
If you’re into architectural cringe, I recommend the 5 over ones episode of “well there’s your problem.”
Plus it probably goes without saying, but also their one on Groverhaus
Nobody has mentioned this: https://youtu.be/Hw2t0MOGnVc, which has Kate herself on
The more I read of her prose, the more convinced I am that she posts here.
my boomer dad introduced me to her blog years ago, and then she guest starred on Well There's Your Problem and I had to binge read it again
I always thought these newer big ass houses looked like shit but was never able to articulate why, which Kate does beautifully
I agree. Kate gave me the vocabulary to explain why I hate these houses.
I'm a big fan myself. If I can ever afford a small house of my own one day I'll keep an eye out and make sure I get one that doesn't have mismatched windows or a lawyer foyer.
Big, big fan. Entirely too big of a fan for the room, replete with dripping chandelier.
Subscribe to her patreon and there is a discord she has. Its very wholesome.
One of my favourite blogs and the reason I'm starting to get into urbanism and architecture.
