The recent news of an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition family losing their home to foreclosure [1] because of a bad loan decision has pushed other stories to the surface.

Eric Herbert of Sandpoint, ID, has put his family's made-over home on the market [2] because of financial strain from increased home maintenance and utility costs [3]. He said, "I’m not doing it (selling) to make a profit. I’m doing it not to lose money. I just hope people understand the reality of it."

Should ABC consider revising their reputation for building homes many times the size of the originals?
