Excellent piece. The alternative to those little boxes, the goal of the high-status hippies who wrote such songs, was giant sprawling impractical houses by Wright or Neutra on giant acreages.

I live in one of those standardized little boxes (500 sqft) and it's easy to heat and cool compared to a big dramatic house. It uses far less energy than the glass walls and open cantilevers of Wright or Neutra.
