They have started going up in my neighborhood. The worth of my house has gone over the million-dollar mark again.
One big problem is the way homes are made. It has not changed substantially in over 100 years, perhaps more.

“Cost: 3D-printed homes are surprisingly cheap to create, running around $10,000 on average today. 3D-printed home leader ICON hopes these homes are even more affordable in the future, with a projected goal of reducing builds down to $4,000. Once plumbing, electrical and other additional construction is added, the final housing cost is around $140,000 to $160,000 on average today.”
