Abstract:
Its been nearly 40 years since Pete Seeger sang abut little boxes
on the hillside. Whether theyre McMansions or single-story starter
homes, little boxes are still being built today. Monotonous subdivisions result
from mass-produced and maximum-sized housing and a lack of government control.
Learn how to provide visual relief.
