here, you can get something that would almost legitimately qualify as a

Yes, that looks like a real mansion.
Hey, even the previous one is not bad for a mansion (though yes, it is a bit "Mc").
But what I've seen in Georgia is much, much worse. The poor quality built, that slapped-together look screams at you and they are huge, huge, huge... And then you see them inside with "realtor.com", and you see all those empty walls, a floor lamp somewhere in a corner, a picture thrown randomly, chaotic, ugly... Bad stuff.
Like a previous poster said, maybe it is the suburban Atlanta syndrome.
I say the anxiety-ridden middle-class that fancies itself "middle-upper" when it is actually barely "middle", sometimes worse.
Coming from Europe, I probably have a different perception of "class" than many Americans. Something deep down keeps telling me that class has little to do with the amount and size of the stuff that you have and everything to do with the person that you are and were born to be. You can be a "self-made" person money-wise but you cannot be "self-made" class-wise. It's like with taste and style.
You may be able to hire some artist with your mony to "fix" you but if you were born "out of it", those cheesy ways you have in your DNA will resurface at one point or another. I know it doesn't sound very "democratic" - but my life experience so far (in different parts of the world) has left me with this belief.
And speaking of small houses (or condos!!), decorated beautifully and with class. I promise to look for some examples that I think qualify. I know someone here asked for this.
