The text is an interesting reflection of US usage. In the UK, at least in the 20th century, 'bungalow' had a rather deprecated implication. Such buildings were often grouped on marginal land and either had single storeys to reduce building costs or because some element of self-build was involved. So the wording which implies 'higher cost' of plot etc should be reviewed or referenced to make clearer the US-only context. |

Story/storey
So far, there've been at least two random edits where story has been gratuitously changed to storey. (To add insult to injury, it's only the first occurence that's been changed, and not consistently throughout.) Please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English to see why this is a Bad Thing.
And thus, Dear Wikipedians, if you feel like changing the spelling yet again - please don't. --moof 02:34, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
