Yes, but these two things are connected. Cheap, fixed, weathertight buildings are a solved problem. But as soon as you fix a building to the ground, you enshrine a rent seeking opportunity, and that space will then be subject to market rates, which will make the resource unevenly distributed.
If we had cheap, mobile, weathertight buildings (and another of other mobile amenities around them) then you could decouple the living space from the market locked to the location, and you could get something closer to even distribution.

- erikpukinskis 9y agoTrailers are probably not small enough, not cheap enough, and not easy enough to move around in tight quarters. Also: "utopia" in this sense is just "provides a path for re-entry to society to homeless". Not some sort of grand remaking of the city.
