          In many aspects I’d say yes… Especially in the fact that you don’t have control of how you build the home… AND it increases the barriers to home ownership. I would have loved to be able to build one of those shipping container based homes with the atrium between them, but you basically need a lawyer to navigate the minefield of laws and code. Plus God forbid you build something not connected to electric.

            Damn, increasing the barriers to home ownership, by making them safe and livable

              This begs the question though… Would you prefer living in a house or on the street?

            You’re right it’s better to let people freeze to death! Screw em! Seriously who needs water??? I want to install unsafe electrical lines that will cause an electrical fire!!

            Lmao.

              Yup though it is better to have those problems in a HOUSE than it is to have them on a STREET SIDE… Do you understand what I’m saying… It shouldn’t be illegal to live in a campervan while you’re building up your home.

                    Now do structural calculations for the roof, foundation, walls. Heating calculations for HVAC and insulation. Whatever calcs for the water and wastewater. That’s about 3 or 4 engineering degrees! Don’t forget all those trades to install it all correctly! That’s another what 10 years for all of them. I doubt you can do the actual electrical calcs for wire sizing (actual engineering calculations). Can’t forget architecture for building envelope. Gas line. The list just keeps going. Ok I have to stop trying to reason with a housecat with Dunning Kruger. Chow to whatever simplistic reply you may have.
