À propos de ce contenu audio

 This smart, provocative look at how the American Dream of single-family homes, white picket fences, and two-car garages became a lonely, overpriced nightmare explores how new trends in housing can help us live better.

Over the past century, American demographics and social norms have shifted dramatically. More people are living alone, marrying later in life, and having smaller families. At the same time, their lifestyles are changing, whether by choice or by force, to become more virtual, more mobile, and less stable. But despite the ways that today's America is different and more diverse, housing still looks stuck in the 1950s.

In Brave New Home, Diana Lind shows why a country full of single-family houses is bad for us and our planet, and details the new efforts underway that better reflect the way we live now, to ensure that the way we live next is both less lonely and more affordable. Lind takes readers into the homes and communities that are seeking alternatives to the American norm, from multi-generational living, in-law suites, and co-living to microapartments, tiny houses, and new rural communities.

Drawing on Lind's expertise and the stories of Americans caught in or forging their own paths outside of our cookie-cutter housing trap, Brave New Home offers a diagnosis of the current American housing crisis and a radical re-imagining of future possibilities.

    This book starts off energetically with an interesting and original historical overview of housing in the US, showing that the single-family home only became the reference model after World War II.

    Then comes a rather disorganized review of alternate housing solutions : co-living, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s), health-oriented homes, micro-houses, etc. The discussion of each is partly stratospherically general and partly anecdotal and diluted with superfluous detail (such as the precise location of three pilot co-housing projects in New York City). The author explains having spent time living in specific projects, but this does not lead to any substantial analysis. The examples provided follow no geographic logic and jump, say, from California to Boston to Chicago. There is no consideration of the planet outside the United States.

    Many readers may conclude that there was only material for a substantial article, not enough for a whole book.

    Half-Baked and Stretched Out!
