3/ I'm going to just say it: if you don't buy a six million dollar home in a walkable neighborhood designed by an architect on your salary as a manager at Jiffy Lube, it's because you're a white separatist and hate good design.

15/ Tracked down the building OP was talking about https://www.fourwindsbarn.com/ It's beautiful ! ...but it's uninsulated and is at least mostly one big room. The devil may or may not be in the details, but the pricing sure is. Insulation, adding real lights, outlets, water...pic.twitter.com/UUS67uykWA

17/ I love this kind of project, and it's why I built half of my previous house myself, and it's why I took a timberframing course at Yestermorrow a while back ... but this can't be a model for mass construction. 99.9% of people can't do/don't want thishttps://twitter.com/calebvoskamp/status/1501939865910333450 …

18/ I'm a big fan of the principle of revealed preference. Folks start a new eco / walkable village project every year ... and yet 0.0001% of people choose to live there.https://twitter.com/TheLumpenprole/status/1501940141220241420 …

19/ Right, this is my point. 0.01% of people want this...and they already do it. This is not a model for the greater world, even if you (and I ) prefer it.https://twitter.com/calebvoskamp/status/1501940400742752272 …

20/ I have a hunch that the price of brick building has actually gone up, in absolute terms, bc of "cost disease". Because most other tasks have gotten much more efficient, but masons still stack bricks one at a time, by hand. Curious for data.https://twitter.com/calebvoskamp/status/1501943505471434758 …
