5/ Middle class homes also have garages / parking, which college dorms do not. Every few years there's a new bespoke "walkable neighborhood" ... and they sell 10 or 80 houses. ...compared to mega developments that go up daily that sell thousands. People want garages & yards

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 …

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 …
