The sprawl of Massachusetts is the sprawl of America -- a new study by Mass Audubon finds McMansionization rampant in the Fey State....duhhhhhh. 40 acres of open space per day is lost to development, nearly all for new home construction -- which always sounds so good and chipper in an economic recovery report, but in real life means the nightmare that is Hopkinton, and the lots along Rt. 2A on my way to work where the houses alternate thusly: modest 60's bungalow, towering faux-lonial insta-manse, modest 60's bungalow, towering faux-lonial...well, you get the idea. You can read more and download the whole study at Mass Audubon -- and while you're there, why not join, so we won't all be living in the Paved State in 20 years?
