Sadly, the actual problem underlying homelessness isn't the time or cost necessary to build a home. As you note, many homeless make do with tents, cars, or literal cardboard shacks. The problem cannot be printed away, as it is sites where folks can live in the tents, cars, and shacks.
Thanks!
you're right most won't have access, but i believe some cities have been funding the tiny homes for them which saves them money in the long run in emergency services when they inevitably end up there because they don't' have adequate housing. The tiny homes certainly don't address the fact that our dollar is continually worthless, no😉, or that central planning has made a complete mess of the housing market
The problem is that you need real property on which to site the homes. A building lot can run from $20k or so on up, depending on location, location, location. The permitting process usually runs ~$5k or so, more than the cost of the printed tiny home.
Printing tiny homes doesn't even address the primary issue causing homelessness. As a builder, I am intimately aware not only of the dollar costs or property and permitting, but the tangled red tape invariably impeding any construction.
can't forget about all those extra costs and restrictions from gov :) 😂
