Data

  1. Median house cost - $128k Mayville mo. [1].
  2. South midwest and south east, at $250k around for median price. [2]
  3. Detroit is like 1/3 the average housing cost! [3]

Issues

  1. KC situation. Affordable is rent only of $700. [4]. If SEH costs $100k, can we do slumlording at $700/month?
  2. Inclusionary (affordable) zoning - actually increases housing costs? [5]
  3. Essential conflict of interest between big builder profits and affordability? [6]

Solutions

  1. Habitat does CEO Builds - [7]. May not scale well without Extreme Manufacturing principles

Revenue Models

  1. Apartment complex economics. $700/mo. One year at $8.4k. Works with free land and utilities using Radical Waste Treatment.
