Tract housing in Daly City, California, a suburb of San Francisco, inspired Reynolds to write "Little Boxes". "Little Boxes" is a song written and composed by Malvina Reynolds in 1962, which became a hit for her friend Pete Seeger in 1963, when he released his cover version. The song is a political satire about the development of suburbia, and associated conformist middle- class attitudes. It mocks suburban tract housing as "little boxes" of different colors "all made out of ticky-tacky", and which "all look just the same".
