Mondale used that line in the first debate with Reagan in 1984 (first time I'd heard it). Still as true today as it was then, though.

You can get two houses into Delaware? It's more of a wide sand spit at the north end of the Delmarva peninsula.

Seriously, though, the cool thing about Delaware is at the south end of the state. Ocean City, MD is sort of like Miami Beach north -- row after row of ugly highrises, mostly hotels, all along the beach (just waiting for the next SuperStorm Sandy to come along . . .). Then you cross over into Fenwick Island, Delaware and nothing is taller than 3 stories. Quite a contrast between the "just let 'em build" crowd and the "we need to control growth" side.
