Brave New Home pulls apart how Americans became infatuated with single-family houses — but how even those who can afford them find them find that they can be financial, emotional, and social drains. The book explores solutions to the social, economic, and environmental consequences of single-family living, such as accessory dwelling units, co-living, multigenerational living, and wellness communities.
