This is bizarre. When I was about 10 we used to sing a song at school called Little Boxes. It turns out that this song is a protest against conformity, and specifically about Levittown, an artificial community so micromanaged that if someone didn't mow their lawn then Levitt would send someone round to do it for them. The little boxes were pre-fab bungalows with modern ideas such as open-plan, heating insulation, and below-floor heating, and - cleverly - an open upgrade route. The more I read about Levittown the more impressed I am.
