How they're built has nothing to do with the immense complexity of building them, it has to do with the land. Everything about a house is tied to the land it sits on. The regulations, the building codes, the architecture, its particular uses, etc. None of that's going to get walked back because local communities won't let it. I think the best this company can do is to become a sort of SquareSpace for housing. But we've had pre-engineered houses before (remember the Sears Catalog homes?). And we have commoditized housing now, they're just called trailers. You could totally scale-up houses by stacking trailers (that's roughly how wooden homes are built today) but either nobody wants it, or nobody's been able to scale it and make it appealing/significantly less costly. But I wish them good luck! The sooner we can get city councils to start allowing "unusual" home zoning, the better. I want my Tiny House permit, god damnit.
