NOTE: While I essentially agree with the comment #3 attributed to me, it was not written by me. Just an FYI.

Exactly, by a writer in a generation who was far ahead and seeing where this 'conformity' was leading us.
And HOAs, conformity up to where you place a flagpole to what shade of beige your house must be, to '60s era individuals, who actually now are all most likely in their 50s and 60s, shows that it is our children that are coming up with this mentality of 'conformity' and it is now extending well beyond what was going on in the 60s, at the present time in fining neighbors, and coming up with 'community designs.'

The song, one of my favorites, was written by Malvina Reynolds about a subdivision in California. Contrary to popular belief, it was not written about middle class housing that all tended to look the same, but about the housing of educated, professional people. The song is really about the tendency to conform and seek conformity.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
