Athens to Follow Atlanta on McMansions

Athens-Clarke officials are indicating their intentions to follow Atlanta's lead on limiting the size of McMansions inside the Athens Perimeter. The problem is not as drastic as in Atlanta; the average size of in-fill homes has risen just over 600 square feet while nationwide it has risen about 1500 square feet in 55 years.

For more on the Atlanta ordinance, see the previous entry titled Atlanta Limits McMansions to Lot Size.

Jmac at Safe as Houses has something to say about Infill Development in Athens.
