The ChiComs would roll the Talis but they won’t, they don’t need to.

I see communities of them on public land. The footprint is very small. They could be used to help people get back on their feet.

Cool, like where? In the town square? The desert? National Parks?

How do you know they want to “get back on their feet”?

Don’t 3D printers only print in plastic?

No, they also print concrete.

The where is for someone else to figure out. Sure, there are some that don’t want help, but there are many more that do.

They are 3d printing with all kinds of material. The houses are made of concrete.

And they can be printed for 4k.

Best range I have seen is 7k to 10k. I think with investment we could get there though.

These 3D Printed Homes Cost $4k And Take Less Than 24 Hours To Make

Non-profit New Story has unveiled a 3D-printed house that may help provide safe and affordable homes in developing countries. Each printed home ranges in size…

Now you have seen 4k.

Of course if the government does it, you have to add a few zeros.

Supreme_War_Pig · 2021-09-04T13:30:45.773Z

Ridiculous

You don’t get to spend the “savings”, it was going on the credit card.

Interesting process but it isn’t the answer to homelessness.

A “printed” house only creates a wall, you still need doors, windows, floors and a roof. Not to mention heating, air conditioning, electrical and plumbing. And you end up with a butt ugly building.

Many homeless aren’t going to be able to handle living in a house, the maintenance would be beyond them. Besides, they also need to be provided with jobs and training which just as important.

Multi unit housing makes more sense for many homeless.

A much better solution would be putting homeless to work (those physically able) building housing thus learning a trade and gaining a home.

Seriously, CMU goes up fast too. I haven’t run the numbers but CMU is problem as cheap, if not cheaper.

I still don’t understand where you’re going to put the houses.

Lots of city owned properties all around the country.

Not where I live. Or you talking about replacing old tenements with these 3d houses?
