And what does the next generation of McMansion victims get?

Our vicious condemnation.

Which is the victim? The ones who live in the McMansion or those trees cut by the McMansion owners?

I'm not in favor of stripping residential areas of trees in order to make bigger homes. Sometimes a tree needs to come down -- such as when it is dying and could harm the people who live there. And home owners should be better stewards of their lands, whether they live on small plots or vast estates.
