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?
