Anyone who has plans to make passionate love to their significant other understands the value of the classic single family house. As humans we crave status symbols, builders capitalize on this by using modern building techniques that can deliver what have been historically considered to be "high-end" accouterments at low cost (yielding high, high profit). These two forces (which are really unstoppable needs of human nature) dictate that, like throughout history, the SFH will always have a prominent place in every society for breadwinners that have issues with their masculinity (and breadwinners who have no problem with their masculinity).

For these reasons I find this article incredibly short-sighted. One cannot forget the tails of history, no matter how "new" today's economic fad may seem. Even the !Kung, whose radically different values compared to the Western experience teach communal property ownership, have definite huts to help define the boundaries between family and society. As participants in the human experience, we must understand the constancy of these values.
