Homes are not built by people intending to live in them. Instead, they are built by builders, who mostly want to flash-form 60 \u201cunits\u201d overnight out of sticks and drywall. Everything from sun positioning to doorknobs becomes not just an afterthought, but a no-thought. The major architectural decision is how to maximize square-footage, over all else, in order to maximize sale price, because at some point in the past consumers wanted more space, and space (considered as square-footage) was an easily legible metric to aim for.<\/em><\/p>\n

SAY IT<\/a>. (part 2<\/a>)<\/p>\n

We need passive and efficient homes more than ever. <\/p>\n

Texas is waking up realizing that 8-bedroom homes with high ceilings are not it, at all. You freeze in there or, you spend thousands to not freeze in there. We can do a whole lot better, technically speaking. We can make houses that sustain that kind of temperature drop or temperature pendulum (it\u2019s back to being warm right now). It\u2019s doable, now and yesterday.<\/p>\n

It frustrates me to no end how bad we are at building the structures we live in. There\u2019s so much more to do here than in Bitcoin or stocks. <\/p>\n

Focus on building your own house. What you need. The maintenance costs. Question everything about your habits. Ponder. Study. Think long term (yeah, those stairs to the bedroom when you\u2019ll be 70 lol).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great mind game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
