How Many McMansions Do We Need? - 01/23/08 12:03 PM
McMansions are mushrooming up throughout the hills of the coastal community I live and work in. As I walk through the limestone laden hallways and cavernous bedroom suites I can't help but wonder what it is in our human nature that compels us to build 10,000 square foot homes for a … (6 comments)

There's a Home in Palos Verdes for You - 01/12/08 10:57 AM
One of the things I like best about Palos Verdes, besides the coastal setting and stellar school system, is the wide variety of housing choices available.
