Concerning 2/2a: Many places in the US enforce a minimum square footage for real/permanent homes, some places 1500-ft^2 for new construction (appalling, I know). I imagine this might be useful/legal for people wanting to drop a temp shelter to occupy while building on-site (often with time limits imposed -- one county I personally inquired with was 6 or 12 months). For really remote or lax places, a wink and a nod to your county inspector/engineer might result in near-indefinite time for your construction project, but in very few places this will be a legal permanent, full-time residence.

- 001sky 14y agoPart of the problem we face is that local gov't uses real-estate as a tax base. So these awesome $750 dollar houses would be a huge monkey wrench for municipalities unless usa pass amendment allowing financnial wealth tax.
