This is why I bought my house just as close to the city as I possibly could. I give myself a little credit for foresight. Even back in '99 when I got my house I was saying that someday the price of fuel was going to skyrocket. And all the "McMansions" that were being built dozens of miles away were going to be white elephants. When the families they were built for disperse, and mom and dad don't want four or five thousand square feet anymore. They'll be too far from anything, and too big. In fact, I could almost see a time where they will be snapped up by local governments at foreclosure sales and remodeled into small apartment houses or mini-jails.
