Well, another way of spelling "developer greed" is "developers giving homeowners what they want." If nobody bought them they would not build so many. I suspect most home buyers _like_ a big house on a small yard, since it's cheaper than a big house on a big yard. (Note that East coast families tend to be a lot smaller than Utah's, which might be part of the reason.) -Jonathan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
