No Fixed Address and Paint Palettes
If you have driven through the streets of most suburbs, you have
seen the row houses of equivalent design, decoration, and setback. Such
standardization seems depressing to you, but the important thing is
that it seems even more depressing to the suburbanite. As a consequence,
an enormous amount of effort has been spent by suburbanites to make
their homes different from those on either side and across the street.
The more identical things are, the more he seeks some distinctive touch
to symbolize and validate any particular tract house as his house. (Donaldson,
Scott. The Suburban Myth. Columbia University Press, New York.
1969)
