We need an EO allowing some places to be designated "experimental single home" properties where entrepreneurs can rapidly build and test low-cost homes that are entirely different from what local building codes allow.
Still need an engineer to sign off, but risk is low, payback huge.
Once you have some single-family home designs that are insanely affordable and liveable, you start experimenting with small community designs that are optimized for healthy interactions and low crime opportunity. Make fifty different small communities. Learn.
Good building design can program the inhabitants to happiness and good energy. Natural light, color, feng shui, space, sound, texture, and airflow are the difference between feeling good and not. And none of those things need to make a home expensive.
I reject the notion that the quality of the home living experience is related to cost. The best living experience of my life was in a college dorm, because that model got the human part right. And they were barely trying. If you enjoy camping, you get the point.
Current homes are like landline phones. We need the smartphone of houses. Local building codes (and politicians) are probably the only obstacle to testing our way to an enormous market that makes life affordable for all. #GoldenAge @kanyewest @realDonaldTrump
