OSE Whitepaper: Solving Housing
Package this like an annual report, where good graphics provide perspective, but this is very much established in a clear plan of action and visible results.
And provide testimonials from people served.
Solutions
- Producer Training - $10k for training for a couple, and $10k for materials + shipping. Every 2-10 houses (depending on poverty rate of a given region) we can subsidize someone else. We train you to build modules, 3D print, use sawmill, use brick press. Materials include CEBs, lumber, and waste plastic ($100/bale) - one bale is 1000 lb (see Plastic Bales)

Issues List - To Be Prioritized
- Supply chain - latest in 2022 is garage doors - [1] - such that closing is delayed or temp doors are installed. Build times of 1 year instead of 7 months reported due to the recent garage door issue.
- Optimize existing house aid efforts - ex, If an organization that is 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 and optimized design via Extreme Manufacturing swarms. And, fix Aid Tourism in the first place.
- 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
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 - [4]
Industry Standards
What are the known issues that the industry communicates as pain points?
- Digibilt - [5]
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. [6]. 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.
Global Perspective
- The Communist Block - [7]. MJ verification - my Polish youth apartment had small rooms with fold-out beds for the kids. Parents still own this after provatization. However, it was a comfy apartment in the Block. Everyone from a scientist to a factory worker lived in these - and the social conditions were not the ghetto of racist American project housing.
