Seems like the model doesn't scale well. Hard to do this is very large cities where there isn't much white space to build. The city is so crowded that everything existing is already lived in, and zoning, politics and regulation make it very cost-prohibitive to build cheap housing.
- true_religion 11y agoWhite space?

- imglorp 11y agoTrue, the model is low and slow. I believe rehabs of degrading row houses are more common in the urban chapters than scratch built: they buy, fix up, and sell to homeowners, involving them and community as my comment above. But yeah, the model doesn't work well for dense housing like condos so they aim elsewhere. If you want to house huge numbers of people quickly, this is not the way to go maybe.
