I don’t even know if it’s the single-family house in and of itself, but more the way they’re laid out in the larger urban planning scheme. There’s been single-family houses in political economies before capitalism, but the layout of them in the community was optimized for, well, strong communities. The suburbs are laid out so that each cookie cutter house is its own little fiefdom, an estate cut off from everyone else and removed from the sort of businesses and institutions that could foster greater community cohesion.
