The Los Angeles City Council recently banned residents and builders in 20 communities from expanding their homes with oversized additions or tearing them down to replace them with so-called “McMansions.”
The action came after a city report said oversized homes are threatening the “cohesion and character” of neighborhoods and historic districts. The ban is in place for two years, and restricts the size of single-family homes by neighborhood.
