I think you know the answer to that

That doesn't even solve anything. Where am I going to put that house? On a parking lot?!

What are you talking about? This is all fault. They're stealing all of our ! We need reverse taxes for billionaires, where the government gives them money instead of them paying taxes, so some of it will finally trickle down to us. And, we need to deport all the . Make America Magic Again!!

I’m down. Our standards are their revenue streams. Yeah… let me buy a house in such a way that fucks the current real-estate industry just a little bit. What are they going to do if enough people follow along? If it’s bad enough, they will loose money on their real-estate investments. Hopefully, if it’s really bad, they eventually default while we’re all cozy in our “lower standards.”

I don’t need a big fancy home. I prefer the outdoor air and view anyhow. Not to mention, I’m sure there are passive benefits to not making your home into a den where you can comfortably avoid grass and societal-problems.

Edit: worst case; they ban foreign home kits like they did with Chinese EVs. This won’t happen overnight, though. If we can create a small movement, then we can use its momentum to fight back when the time comes.

Gosh… I just really want to see a bunch of people say “fuck it. We’re going to try building our own sovereign common-welfare infrastructure.” Move somewhere remote, find ways to survive as a community, start off like the Amish if you have to. But, effectively, most importantly, remove yourself from the American consumer market.

That would create a huge fucking tension between your rights as an individual and the big-boys source of income/power. The attention it gets might have more people supporting/joining the community, as a kind of solution they’ve been long looking for.

There would be tradeoffs. I’m willing to bet that those tradeoffs are reasonable though, if you have a sizable enough community. In fact, I’d go as far to bet that people in this remote community would have better health on average than city dwellers. Given the shit food we’re sold, the abundance of calories and sugar, …

Increasing standards is part of the problem. We think we need more space because we buy too much shit.

lol

And sewer, water, and electricity.

Please don't. Containers are strong top to bottom for stacking, not side by side for earthworks. Buried alive is a bad prep.

Like peppercorns before I put them in the pepper mill?

Like the internet just found out about doublewides and singlewides.

My tiny country has multiple manufacturers of those, some sell globally. Seems there's enough demand.

Because the cheapest manufactured homes in the US are now 100k shipped from the factory.

Inflation in the US (i.e. pure greed) is off the charts. People that think manufactured homes are affordable haven't looked in 20 years.

Why not both? Move to China!
