12/ I didn't say "4 bedroom", I said "4 beds", by which I meant "couple + 2 kids" (which is typical).https://twitter.com/Cobylefko/status/1501933527859810313 …

13/ one definition of middle income is "income that is two-thirds to double the U.S. median household income" which spans ~$60k k - $170k. $170k income folks buy $600k houses. Not saying all middle class folks do, ofc.https://twitter.com/JosephusSnyder/status/1501933475258978309 …

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 …

calebvoskamp @calebvoskampReplying to @calebvoskamp @EricRichards22 @MorlockPThe lumber, tamarack, cedar, pine, etc was sourced and then cut at a small Mennonite sawmill. All done with artist passion, farmers knowhow. Shoestring (relatively) budget. It can be done. Just don't expect it to be done for you by committee.3 replies 0 retweets 13 likesShow this thread -

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 …

Polybius Champion 🐂 💨 @PolybiusChampReplying to @MorlockPYour numbers are pretty close to the real cost. Here is a community (live/work/play) that fits the bill. You can buy a nice 3br townhome for around $800,000 and the SFH’s now sell for around 1.3 - 1.6m. https://www.ashtonwoods.com/atlanta/aria?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=ATL-GeoBrand-AMT&_bk=aria%20sandy%20springs&_bt=554028706293&_bm=e&_bn=g&gclid=CjwKCAiA4KaRBhBdEiwAZi1zzkDD7E-L0VyaaAIXpIiXt3AiCfH2w-GZJrJ1gceMArm_AoQTWbUnaxoCWTQQAvD_BwE …1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread

Upstate Federalist @upstatefederlstReplying to @TheLumpenprole @MorlockPCapitol Region New York has made a bunch of these fake "downtown" complexes where there are apartments over restaurants and stuff and nobody lives there. As it turns out when most people flee to the suburbs they want suburb things. pic.twitter.com/McVOgBXYgd2 replies 1 retweet 6 likesShow this thread -

Polybius Champion 🐂 💨 @PolybiusChampReplying to @ctdonath @MorlockPYup, and the Aria project is built on property that was acquired in 2016/2017 (under contract then closed). If that size property came available today in the same area the land cost would be 30-50% more. Not far away there are some gorgeous townhomes that start at $1.1m.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -
25/ Bottom line: everyone loves beautiful craftsmanship, big rooms, nice materials, walkable neighborhoods and green spaces. ...but they ALSO love affordable mortgages, convenient parking, safe neighborhoods, and private spaces. "people like X" is not an argument that X >>> Y
