I don't think this is a good article. Not only is it full of histrionics and fallacious arguments, it's also wildly historically inaccurate. The American obsession with hyper individualism is not due either primarily or even in large minority to the existence of single-family houses with yards, it's cultural and is the confluence of dozens of forces. Articles like this just increase the masses' paranoia about how the left is full of out-of-touch moralizers who want to forcibly resettle them into a commieblock hovel.
