The thing that bothers me the most is housing prices that leave so many people out on the street. I think every person deserves housing. So more affordable housing, even if it looks “boring”, is exciting to me.
- lotsoweiners 5y agoThanks for adding so much pertinent information to this discussion. Definitely appreciated.
- Gigachad 5y agoAffordable housing doesn’t have to mean 5 copy pasted towers lined up in a row. If hiring an architect for a unique design costs too much, then scatter the buildings so it’s 5 towers over 5 postcodes.
- dagw 5y agoIt's not the architect or design that costs. Building 5 identical houses next to each other is simply much cheaper and faster due to the economy of scales of prefabricating and delivering identical elements and being able to use the same machinery and crew to put them all up att once. Spreading the out over 5 postcodes means you need more people, more construction equipment, more infrastructure work etc. etc.
- sokoloff 5y agoMaintenance over time is also easier and cheaper if the buildings are standardized.
