    So we solve the housing problem by lowering our standards instead of ending the game played by billionaires with us as pawns?

        Houses honestly aren’t super expensive. Really it’s the land their on that typically cost! My house is worth less than the half acre plot it’s on. I paid 285k, 160k or imthat is just the land it’s on. So if we take 160 + 25k for the prefab house here + assuming 5k delivery minimum and it needs a slab to sit on is another 10k easy your looking at 200k and change before any utilities are hooked up. Probably 220k before you can think about actually living in it (if u were to put on an equivalent plot as my house is on anyhow) and now you have paid nearly 80% of the money as to have a “real” house. Mind you I have a nice attic for storage and a basement as big as my house for storage and a garage to work in with a driveway. These cheap prefab houses sound awesome and cheap untill you add up what it would take to actually live in it. Sure it could be done cheaper than I have in my bullshit example but just goes to show that of all the things required to use this product, by far the prefab house is the cheapest part of it.

      What are you talking about? This is all <brown-persons> fault. They’re stealing all of our <job-I-was-never-going-to-do-in-a-million-years>! We need reverse taxes for billionaires, where the government gives them money instead of them paying taxes, so some of it will finally trickle down to us. And, we need to deport all the <brown-people-whos-country-I-cant-find-on-a-map>. Make America Magic Again!!

      /S

      I may not be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree but I’m not that stupid.
