Housing, like health care, is a basic need that is too important to be left completely at the whims of the free market. But an enormous new government housing bureaucracy does not seem like a desirable solution.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yep<\/a>. First, \u201cfree market\u201d lol. There is no such thing with real estate and housing. But I agree, housing is a basic need. It\u2019s a basic need that we can easily solve. We have all the technology to do a great job and provide sustainable, maintenance-free, zero net housing and buildings.<\/p>\n


I was searching for modern small prefab houses and Minecraft was like, \u201cthere you go\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We can prefab and raise houses in a couple of days. The biggest obstacle on better and cheaper housing are policies that a lot of people are living out of. Otherwise, we have everything to provide affordable housing, right now. It\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n

You know, when they said that almost half of the world\u2019s wealth is now owned by just one percent of the population<\/a> it made me realize that we could afford free housing easily. States, countries could provide, mandate that. It is a basic need \u2013I\u2019d say more than health care- and seeing how much people bleed to afford a place that they mostly will use to sleep after hard work, it\u2019s so inefficient, dumb and ridiculous that it makes my skin crawl. I\u2019m looking deep into rent\/rentals issues these days and oh boy, it\u2019s depressing as hell.<\/p>\n

Imagine growing up knowing that you always will have a roof because your income isn\u2019t indexed to it. You\u2019ll have a roof.
Imagine how different it would have made you and how less anxious you would be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
