I do think it is very much a classism thing.
Plant of "McMansion style" homes that Architectural Digest type snobs punch down on that are not $1M. Remember vast areas of this country have very cheap land.
The demographics of people who enjoy writings like McMansion Hell skew much richer than the people living in that style of home. A McMansion style home in the burbs can cost about the same as a mediocre 1-2 bed / 1.5 bath in NYC.
