"A world where most housing becomes disposable (i.e. it is not directly tied to the land it sits on) would be very different from the one we currently live in."
So basically the trailer park model?
- mathgeek 11y agoThat's what I envision, but I like to be optimistic that it wouldn't be that bad.
- derekp7 11y agoOne variation is the campground model. I have a camper parked at a fairly decent campground, costs are about 2.5K a year (plus electricity and waste disposal). But where I live the camping season is about 5 months. However, it doesn't have the feel of a trailer park -- instead if feels like a resort area.
- protomyth 11y agoDidn't we have an article on HN talking about Home Depot and how Japan's houses are basically disposable? Still tied to the land, but torn down and new build instead of home improvement. [edit:] yep, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10303455 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10303455
