Ok, I kept getting the message on hacker news that housing supply can only be solved with more housing supply. But what can we do as individuals?

Build a house? Or many? Start a house-building start-up and get tech VC money interested in it, claim there’s some AI or put them on the blockchain and make a mobile app or something and VC’s will poor cash in to your lap faster than you can build em…… but alas, always the problem is red tape, “zoning” and probably NIMBY-ism

There are lots of really cheap homes in the USA they either need work or are in undesirable locations or both.

Yeah, that was a really good point that the article had made, that I hadn’t really put 2 and 2 together about before.

I don’t get it. The one screenshot is meaningless to me.

I feel a tiny bit less stupid now. It's also meaningless to me :-)

It also doesn't match the intent. There seems to be a multi-unit four story building that could fit all the people on the right.
