Times are changing.
Gen Z will happily take it. What they're looking for is just any housing they can afford at all. If cheap effeciency can make a small detached bungalow with a real yard and a parking space affordable, they'll be happy to put up with minor taste quibbles like that. The alternative is roommate packed apartments, mom's basement, or homes far from any jobs to pay for the homes with.
- bobthepanda 2y agoEh yes and no. The fad of container homes was a quick flash in the pan as it turned out they were actually a terrible size to actually live in; not quite large enough to put furniture in and still have walking space. Because factories for rooms are actually specialized for the actual room, it's not cheap once you consider the startup cost of a factory. All the components of a room are increasingly panelized and mass manufactured anyways, making building large portions of buildings similar to building out of Legos or IKEA flatpack, which is good enough for labor reduction.
- fragmede 2y agoIf you stay constrained to the container's dimensions for the room's walls, it's rather confining, but you don't have to. For $8k, this one looks pretty good. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806996880923.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806996880923.html
- bobthepanda 2y agothat's flatpacked, not shipped as a room as-is, which is what i'm arguing for
