This says so much about the shift of Disney's of cultural expectations Americans have for 'homes'.
I guess we had MORE vision as a collective in 1957 and the average American today just wants have the comfort of knowing that their nostalgic, bulging, EIFS slathered bungalows will remain with them forever. Thanks for the VISION Disney.
Should the future at least be sustainable? It wouldn't be hard to just send some Solar Decathlon projects over to Anaheim. Of course, it might make those who live and love their architectural "Hummers" a little offended...
