Letter: Well, actually

The Astorian has repeated an error it first misreported 10 years ago. The Nov. 16 “Water Under the Bridge” column reprints a report from 2011 ascribing the song “Little Boxes” to Pete Seeger.

Actually, “Little Boxes” was written in 1962 by Malvina Reynolds, and covered by Seeger in 1963. The Daly City subdivision described in the song is still visible from Interstate 280 south of San Francisco.
