Doncha ya think the government meddling in both cars and housing artificially created the cookie cutter shoes and shoeboxes that we see? My dad was a builder after WWII. By the time he died in late 90’s, he told me the profits were eaten away by regulations and paperwork. Which is why housing is squished together and monocolored. Very sad that creativity and individuality die when government controls every tiny thing we say and do!!
“Which is why housing is squished together”
Housing is squished together to get more units per land area.
Besides, most people don’t want a lawn to maintain. The kids play in the bonus room and they watch movies in the media room.
