          There’s enough total housing.

          But people need to be able to live where they have a chance of being hired. And some places don’t have enough housing.

              suppose we must push harder for remote work

              But most remote work pays enough that housing isn’t an issue. Many lower paying jobs require us to be on-site, and we’re the ones that can’t afford housing.

              So I think the option is way more affordable housing, and removing the stigma around that. In my area it’s called Section 8, and of course, those options always seem to be in the more crime-ridden areas. So frustrating.

      As with all tiny homes, I wonder what the property to put it on (with plumbing and services) will cost.

      From the article:

      “Stora Enso and Voodin Blade Technology GmbH are working on making sustainably sourced wood turbine blades that can easily be reused at the end of their lifespans, and Canvus is repurposing wind turbine parts into furniture.”

      I like the idea of it. I live in a house. And the windows thing stresses me out because of the expense of fixing them if broken, easy access for intruders, etc. lol
