It's hard to tell what exactly caused the reason for people buying smaller homes these days, but for whatever specific reason, the recession probably also played a major part. Perhaps, like you said, after this economic downturn the McMansion will become popular again like it was not that long ago. Have you considered creating a http://bit.ly/4bybHr poll for your readers? I find them pretty useful and also fun for voting! Very interesting article.

Hopefully we learn from this that we really don't need all the extra space to live comfortably and productively. Cost of energy will play a role in the future direction of an average home size.
