Single family homes on their way out?!?!

Is it time to "accept the single-family home is outdated?"  Farhod Manjoo's pronouncement might seem a rather over-the-top reaction to the failure of SB50 for those outside the SF Bay area, but with situations like 2:30 AM shuttles out of Salida for morning shifts at the Tesla plant or Google shuttles providing a total of 4 million rides annually across an area the size of the New York City to Philadelphia corridor, I'd hesitate before calling him out as being histrionic.
