No problem Ken. I’ve enjoyed reading your intelligent articles and comments, and I truly didn’t understand why you seemed to misinterpret my comment.

I am so sorry. I misinterpreted your comment as an insult to me. Now I
understand what you meant. Please accept my apologies and thank you
for both your explanation and your initial comment.

“Whoever owns the mansion seems not only to want to enjoy it for its own sake, but also to announce their social superiority over those in the valley.”

Why do you bring your mother into the discussion of the ego that you claim motivates people to build mansions? Or do you not understand that the desire to announce social superiority is an expression of an inflated ego? I don’t understand your objection to my comment.

Thanks, Julian, and keep up the good work. I was just gently raising a small instance of the issue, hoping to prod people to think.

Gee, what a fruitful comment. My only puzzlement is why you neglected to insult my mother.

Living large inside the mirrored walls of an inflated ego.

Mr Morris, thank you, you are very right in drawing attention to these undesirable megastructures. Here is another absurd one which our environmental NGO (www.latinambiente.org)vehemently opposes: http://vistabahia.com. Regards, Julian
