- skewart 9y agoHonest question, why is that hilarious? There is a huge amount of cheap, cookie-cutter housing in American suburbia. In fact, I suspect a large majority of single family suburban houses built in the last 50 years are rubber stamp clones from homebuilder planbooks.
- beisner 9y agoIt's funny because they're duplicate mentions of the same idea, in a discussion of duplicated housing.
- Nomentatus 9y agoSee the very old song "Little Boxes" by Malvina Reynolds, also famously covered by folk singer Pete Seeger. I loved it back in 1960, when I was a kid revolted by the sameness of the suburbs.
