In Vancouver, a lot of people are building " monster" houses like these in the photo attached. That they are ugly and don't into the architecture of the city is a matter of personal opinion. Most of these houses are built by recent immigrants who have a lot of money and who now want to "express" themselves by demonstrating that they own this house and the two BMWs outside simply because they can.

Others, of course, look at these houses and wonder why, in a world of dwindlng space and resources, why any two people would need a 5000 square foot house with six bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Sometimes my visiting friends to La Manzanilla ask me why some foreigners build such large houses here.

"Because they can", I answer.
