[edit] Daly City
Nobody who has driven south along Skyline Drive in Daly City would doubt that Little Boxes refers to this neighborhood, but I haven't found a really authoritative source for the attribution.
An online search suggests that Seeger commonly made the connection while introducing the song. There's also a recollection here from one Peter Levy of a Eugene McCarthy fundraiser where Reynolds "sang her Little Boxes song and prefaced with a comment on the Tacky houses across the bay--at the time we were in a rather posh Berkeley hills abode".
A better citation would be nice.

I added her comment about "a song before breakfast" from personal remembrance. I saw Malvina perform c. 1971 at a céilí at the Southestern Massachusetts Technical Institute (now UMass Dartmouth).

- That constitutes original research, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia. I'm taking it out. All published sources I've seen point to the Daly City story. Peter G Werner 13:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
When I told my father, a folk music enthusiast, I was moving to Daly City a few years ago, he immediately started singing "Daly City, California, little boxes made of ticky-tack, little boxes on the hillside...". He'd never seen Daly City, so I doubt he was inspired visually. Clearly there is a recording somewhere with this lyric. I asked him where he heard it, and he doesn't remember. -- Ken, San Francisco 66.245.150.106 18:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discography
Why was the separate discography page removed? It used to be part of the article [1] and was moved to a separate page because it was thought to be too long to really fit right. Now it's been deleted.--Hjal 03:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
