New houses being built seem to be nothing but McMansions. There seem to be no new smaller houses. Why? Because developers want more money so they build bigger?

Right now, high school football players with aspirations for a professional career have no other option than to sign with a college. If there was a minor league that player could get good coaching and game experience and be elevated to the NFL when talent and experience merited.
