McMansion means two things at the same time. Be wary of terms like those:
1. Badly-designed and badly-built (as in, objectively not up to some verifiable standard) homes built with the look of better-built homes but none of the construction quality those homes have.
2. Houses built by the newly-rich on small lots, in contrast with the houses inherited by the old money on larger tracts of land.
The inevitable and, perhaps, deliberate conflation between the two senses is pure class warfare, of the "Established upper class striking against the newly arrived" sense.
