Songs that have to do with land use (house, title)

What are some songs that are about land use, sprawl, etc.? The only one I can think of is Malvina Reynolds – Little Boxes.

What about that one by Toni Mitchell (I think?) that The Counting Crows covered a while back. Something like "pave over paradise and put up a parking lot."

Cut Down All The Trees And Name The Streets After Them - The Fall of Troy

Not about that at all...only the title.

The songs called Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell.
There's always This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie.

This is an odd question.
Anyways, Pavement - Conduit For Sale!

Subdivisions by Rush

A few years ago on a urban planning board called Planetizin there was a similar post as yours. If you want more examples you can try to find it there.

"Build" by the Housemartins is about urban sprawl.
