Pet owners of LA:

Every park you see with grass is not a toilet for your dog.

McMansions don’t follow me home if I step on one.

I think this was probably the toughest match-up so far in Round 1 (as evidenced by the 50/50 split in the voting.) I hate ‘em both.

I had to go with the the McMansions. If I get irritated enough with the dog poop, at least I can pick it up myself (while shouting expletives and leaving the poop on the offender’s doorstep.) With the McMansion, all I can do is stay pissed until someone buys it and the lots on either side, tears down everything, and builds something three times as big and ugly.

McMansions get my vote. So big they change the skyline and cause us to lose our views of the mountains. Big enough on the slopes they detract from what nature gave us as well. Can’t we leave just a little green and views for the future?

They are huge energy wasters. Between heating and cooling they tax our aging power grid. Their carbon footprint as a result is much greater than a more modest house.

Wow, this is a close one. After I voted (dog poop), it was a straight 50% split between the two.

This one was a tough choice for me, as I hate both of them.

McMansion are easy to spot and ignore. They’re also the result of citizens not being more involved in local government – you have noone to blame but yourself.

Unpicked up dog poop, on the other hand, is the result of lazy, selfish scumbags who know better. These are the same people who took advantage of the McMansion explosion while you were looking the other way and cleaning the crap off your shoe.

McMansions without a doubt. I’d rather step on dog feces twice in a day than see monstrosities, like this one. http://tinyurl.com/33laqx
