>>60740935>This. Let the young build new cities bring back the homestead act (of course fitting with modern jobs and housing)Our great grandparent's spent money buying land and then built everything by hand and paid next to nothing. Our grandparents bought pre made mobile and manufactured homes that were assembled for them and costed more. Today most houses need an engineer, ecologist, zoning manager, HOA, architect and an entire team of construction workers with decades of experience to live with a roof over our heads.
It's compiled by the fact that the houses on the market are being gobbled up and resold at a 20 times markup. Check assessed value vs market value. Million dollar homes are reported for taxes as 100 thousand.
Supply drives demand. More open houses with families inside, the less it cost to make a house. It's that simple.
>>60740949>why cant i build a poisonous shack with no oversight?The US has already done this. If you were retarded you lived in a tin shack or the back of a van. Those who bought the materials and worked with their community and family survived. That's why you needed 15 children, for labor.
>>60740955It ends up being a cyclical issue, people cannot rase a family without a home. The only way kids can buy houses are to get into massive amounts of lifelong debt or build a generational home with their parents.

>>60741119Congratulations, you reinvented manufactured homes. Folk's will call you guys the "pod makers" despite the fact you can make a perfectly good 3 bed 2 bath home for $47,000.
