Prefab has come a long way. These homes are quite nice and well-designed. Some are microscopic in size, others range up to 1500-2000 sq ft. The first one is made from shipping containers…
From Sue:
Shipping container housing. Any color you want as long as it’s “rust.” But you get a grass roof with that.
Flatpak – pricey but amusing If you don’t want to pay extra for seismic bracing, etcetera for earthquake zones, can they interest you in a nice plot of land in Minnesota?
The wee house. Very c. 50’s for $45 k.
More pre-fab – california style this time
People in glass prefab houses Shouldn’t stow thrones. This one a bit more room, and a bit more pricey, at $175 per sq ft. But oo la la!
Backyard retreat? Camping gear? Home sweet home?
“Specifications: About 75sf, 11′ x 7′ x 11′, 4000lbs
Because the exterior dimensions of this structure are well within the legal limits for travel on U.S. roadways, the XS-House can be taken almost anywhere. The porch and awning fold up for added convenience. The Oscoz
interior features a retractile table and vanity, a desk, 100 cubic feet of storage, a cathedral ceiling, a six gallon water heater, a shower, toilet, stainless steel counter, refrigerator, sink, heat stove, a double burner, and a vented sleeping loft for two.”
Including one you can build yourself, a 280 sq ft guest house.
This is political. Where will people live is a political question.

‘Where will people live?’ Is a political question.
Especially the increasing number of people with low pay or no pay. I know several very intelligent, hard-working, honest types who lost their jobs (free-market outsourcing or market bust) … and who can’t afford housing in the inflationary housing market.
And those are higher income people.
Don’t forget the Yurts & Teepees!
Not just for long hair, tie dye, sandle, patuly oil wearing people anymore.
