Other Points of Solving Housing

1. Optimize existing house aid efforts - ex, Habitat as an international travel agency charges people as 'aid tourism' and low skill level ends up not finishing a house. OSE can provide finishing school, ie, faster build time via Extreme Manufacturing swarms.

• Building optimized housing using Integrated Efficiency and Universal Design not requiring constant remodeling as you go through different phases of your life.
• Producing digital housing - with a full digital model, scalability can arise via 6Ds of Disruption
• Create a 3 month training mechanism for new builders to get up and running completely, to deliver upon orders acquired in distributed operations worldwide
• A continuing product dev mechanism, funded by sales from the education organization. Product sales combine with apprenticeships and tuition to deliver new house builders, and houses built.
• Open source supporting equipment, based on lifetime design, provides low cost support infrastructure
• Creating land for new regenerative settlements, and taking land out of speculation.
• Cooperative Housing

Facts and Figures

• 300k houses short in the USA 2020 [1]
• 8M people USA pay at least 50% of their income on housing [2]

Notes

• Sell at 'market value' ie cost comparable to what is available, but provide productive capital, not a liability. Such as microfactory production or energy production. Such as microgrids - where if we educate the city departments, we can have a flexible energy production infrastructure on the scale of communities. This takes getting past big utility lobbies or just plain resistance. Blockchain microgrids are a natural solution.

• Brownsville is the most dense public housing area in the USA - [3]

Industry Standards

What are the known issues that the industry communicates as pain points?

• Digibilt - [4]

Proposed Opinions

• Proposing public-owned housing, like social security. You pay down a rent, until you 'own', but you don't really own, though you can draw value from your fund. [5]. Sold at market value. What does that solve, though?
  • Probably solves the issues of rent vs ownership etc User: Eric
• Community land trusts: a non-profit that owns land and takes it off the speculative market, creating a parallel market that is permanently affordable.
