What is Good Housing Design and How to Consistently Deliver It
The median income needed to buy homes and condos is $144,000, plus in ninety-seven percent of U.S. counties.
 
Yet, the way we build houses has been the same for over a century.
 
Cars were built individually by hand in 1903. By 1913 they were using assembly lines, and now our cars are put together by robots.
 
The 1970 Chevy Impala versus the 2020 model is yet another example of how the car industry has zoomed past us.
 
The newer version is more efficient in terms of size and energy usage, yet it has the same legroom and the same headroom. It’s safer and better in almost all ways.
 
Housing is ripe for a similar disruption and is beginning a metamorphosis. Imagine what it would be like to be a part of a renaissance. 
What’s next for us?
