3D-printed houses for the homeless...
[reason.com]
I am all for effective, inexpensive but durable construction for homeless or anyone. But specifically for the homeless, where do we build it? How are property rights upheld? Is it permanent or transitioning? I loved the little houses built but they were confiscated by municipalities and demolished. Municipalities have to allow people who want to help a pathway to do so and lift restrictive zoning rules which prohibit certain structures.
why - are natural house building materials getting scarce? I don't think so.
It wasn't a matter of typical building sources becoming scarce.
@SpikeTalon so why bother with it - that's my point LOL
@iThink It's another way to build, by using such technology, that's the point.
interesting. generally 3 d printing is expensive, but maybe the price has come down as the technology has matured
I think that's the case with most new tech, at first it may be a bit expensive, but gradually the price comes down after some time.
