Hayden explains that these homes grew to popularity during the depression when affordable housing and increased structure was necessary for survival. These simple synopses seem logical and and understandable: Change was needed due to the needs of society, and change lead to the addition and loss of certain aspects of society.
Jackson, however, implies a criticism to the changes. Details like taking inventory of food which you have taken from your own farm for your own family, using outside workers instead of your family and no intentions of keeping the farm in the family seem to present the concept that and individual (namely farmers) no longer function in a "family" machine but rather a "society" machine... A "society" machine where a farmers son wants to be a pilot and the family doesn't read from the bible!
It is evident that while suburbs were popular at the time, criticisms like Jackson's or those found in "little boxes" also seemed prevalent.
