I don't think monster homes relate so much to what might be thought of as overdevelopment. Granted, there is a poignant connection to condo monoliths sprouting up all over town that make my neighbor's monster look like Minnie Me. I think obesity due to lack of moderation is a universal wrong in all things...especially living in the shadow of a neighbor's Motel 6 renovation. Kalihi Filipinos started this extravagant trend as cued by Round Top's stretch mansions presiding over Makiki. Except, the matter is exclusivity on Round Top, whereas in Kalihi, it's more low wage immigrants or lucrative elderly patients. Like obesity surging its way throughout America and globalized now through fast food chains, monster home disease is clinical and in need of Primary Care. So, as in medicine where prevention is secondary, why not firstly do some drastic surgery on existing obese bodies and their cancers?  (like the neighbor's house)
