In ancient times you had to fit in in order to survive, an outcast wasnt very well equipped to take down a mammoth or for agricultural conquests

Because people were brought up and told that is what you are suppose to aspire to. A miserable existence working a job you hate, seriously in debt with a buncha fucking kids running around and a fat ass spouse. `

I doubt people buy these houses just because they happen to all look alike. I think it might have more to do with so many people working within close proximity to each other. Some of us would rather live in a cookie cutter house than commute 40 minutes to an hour each way.

I was a quest for affordable housing, you really see this after WWII, but I live in a hood that is 100 years old and was like the original development for paper mill and sprauge electric workers. when you buy like 100 of the same thing, you get a nice discount as a builder.
