I love the imagery and allusion to "homes." I wonder if perhaps the meaning of the word extends not to just a lavish (and ultimately obscure) lifestyle, but to the idea behind family and to the ideal "American" family, in the "Partridge family"/"Leave it to Beaver" sense; I am turned on to the idea from the line "makes the common house a home."
