      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

      To be fair, I don't think people realize to what lengths were went to to get that project done at that price. The barn is actually "two barns". There's an outside shell, and an inside shell. Completely insulated inbetween the two.

      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 …

      The cedar shingles were made from cuttoffs from cuttoffs of electrical poles with an old machine from 1800s for making shingles.

      The 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.

      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 …

      Your 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 …

      Yup, 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.

      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

          I’d point out that people could have *all* these things simply by living in the historic district of any of 100 small-to-mid-sized Midwestern cities, if they just got over their fashionable disdain for such places, but their disdain keeps them affordable for the rest of us.
