A Malvina Reynolds song, as popularized by Pete Seeger: Little Boxes.
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
Don’t get me wrong, this was a good house. And is a house, with a basement, a garage, and (soon) a deck. It even has sliding patio doors.
But I’ve come to the realization that our neighbourhood right now is essentially a trailer park. As evidenced every morning, by looking out our bedroom window.
Sigh. And someone is going to be paying over $300 000 for this in the near future.
