So what do you do with those people who did do those despicable things as teens? I don't just mean this, but any reprehensible action. I think obviously we can maybe keep them from getting any kind of comfortable jobs, keep them doing drudge work. But even then, do you really want a neo-nazi cleaning your toilets? No, that's not good enough.
We need to round them up and contain them somewhere. Their remorse can't be enough. We can't have them contaminating our air. If we put them in a single location and kept them from getting in and out, concentrated, we could keep ourselves safe from these people.
Yeah, because I'm totally going to be interested in listening to a bunch of Al Jazeera reporters try to do Al Jazeera America again. Totally unbiased reporting, that. :P
Best Practice to Level Up: Don't make a whole new framework that is in no way compatible with the prior framework and just label it the same expecting people to use it.
Sorry, when I read this, for some reason, I thought you were saying the author of this article was the guy posting this, and that because he had posted a sexist tweet, his proof that PHPixie was a fraud was invalid.
I'd be interested in such a thing but these homes are far from affordable. In fact they're priced a bit more heavily than homes in nearby Elmhurst, IL, no bastion of cheap home prices.
I'd be up for trying this if I could get it for around 250-300k for the 4br and then that allows me to pick up the land for 150k and come out about 150k cheaper than a standard house, but you're expecting me to pony up 500k + whatever it costs for the land plot, when I can just buy a house for 550k in the same neighborhood prebuilt.
My point is, your value prop isn't real. It's a great home, and a great idea, but it's actually more expensive square foot for square foot.
My wife and I are going to be house hunting in the next two years, and we would have considered this option but it's actually more expensive.
You can give the standard Tesla "but you'll have lower (gas/electric) bills" argument but I like air conditioning, so I doubt that's true for me, and even if it was, it doesn't really sell me either. "Because you'll save so much in the long run(and we can't really prove you will), you need to pay an extra 150k up front!" doesn't ring well.
EDIT: To clarify, I basically feel like in order for this business to work at all, it has to be a much cheaper option than a normal home, because there is an accompanying huge risk in investing in one of these. It's resale value may be next to zero, and all it's fancy gadgets will be out of date by the end of next year.
I once had a terrible experience with their kindles. They shipped me one that was a dud, and when the screen went haywire in the first few days I called and they admitted that this batch had issues. Unfortunately, they told me, I would have to shell out 100$ for a new one, even though it was their fault.
Even Amazon screws up royally, too. I bought a Nook and never looked back, and haven't bought a book from Amazon since.
We need to round them up and contain them somewhere. Their remorse can't be enough. We can't have them contaminating our air. If we put them in a single location and kept them from getting in and out, concentrated, we could keep ourselves safe from these people.
