Have you seen the newest subdivisions they are building these days? Tiny two story ******* box things all alike standing cheek to jowl with maybe three feet in between, one might be ok standing alone, but thirty in a row is shockingly disturbing. With no yard front or back to plant any flowers or even let your dog take a crap. I suppose they are affordable for new first-time buyers in this everything overpriced world we seem to be living. As for me, I would rather live in a van down by the river.

"Ticky-Tacky little boxes all in a row". Little Boxes Song written and sung by Malvina Reynolds in 1962, visions of things to come, that are now here. Will my grandchildren ever be able to afford a stand alone home of their own? Or is generational inheritance the only way?
