Woodie Guthrie sang it, I'm quite sure.

I don't know if the song was about some place in California, but the  
early BIG expansive housing development I remember was in New Jersey,  
I think.  I can't remember the name of it, but in the early 70's I  
flew over it in a helicopter.  I was appalled.  Literally mile after  
mile of identical little boxes exactly as the song describes. It took  
some pictures of the place, but it's such a chilling scene, I have  
never printed the negatives.
