NY Post on March 13, 2018 reported that one home building firm can build a home in under 24 hours for $10k. The home was revealed at the annual SXSW festival in Texas. It is unclear if this construction approach would work in Ohio or the Arctic or other areas not with the same climate as Texas.
The newspaper asserts the innovation are not the common materials, but the use of automation. A Vulcan 3D printer was used in the production process. It is anticipated the structure will be used as an office. Air quality monitors may be involved to monitor that metric
The video opens discussing global homelessness. This approach may help satisfy the market finally. 100 homes are planned to be constructed in El Salvador. The article reports 3D printing homes is not new, but the building material may be?

The entire home is not 3D printed. The foundation, windows. Roof and the electrical and plumbing systems still utilize the human element. But who knows maybe in a few years that can be automated too?

3D printing technique has changed the way of making tools. It is easy to print out any kind of tool according to your requirements.

I believe homelessness is a lot more complex issue than "let's build some more houses" - and don't forget that the area of land may be expensive as well, or unreachable due to regulations. Small houses with some land around doesn't scale that well, I believe it's needed with high-rise buildings to keep everyone housed.

yea, seems like urbanization has been skyrocketing for a few decades. I think the best solution to involuntary homelessness is a guaranteed minimum income which would enable all access to live lives they choose for themselves

Indeed, in the US anyways it's not a problem of not enough houses. There are something like 6 times as many empty homes as homeless people. To combat homelessness it might be better to focus on mental healthcare and substance abuse.

yea, but idk how many of those houses are in good condition in county land banks, news super cheap houses constructed in some hinterland could help alleviate homelessness--at least if combined with the resources to enable all to purchase leases/mortgages

but who would want to live in some hinterland? they want to live in Anaheim and that is the problem. They could rent a nice 3 bedroom detached house with a garage in Modesto for like $1000 a month

Totally agree, with urbanization continuing we need to build higher. The perfect example for this is Berlin. As the capital of Germany, it is the largest city in terms of area and population. When walking through the city you will see almost no buildings taller than a few stories.
I guess the technology to build these small homes for such a low price it rather going to be used for second homes in tourist areas.

interesting, yea seems like could be increasing sprawl, that is still urbanization?

Berlin is a story for itself.
The mainly low houses there results from fire service laws from a hundred years ago, when the fire ladders were short and fire in higher houses could not have been extinguished. :)
But it seems as if they want to change this soon, as there now exists a lack of free spaces for new houses.
But for Germany there could as well be stated, that there exist states like Mecklenburg, theoretically having enough space for every single inhabitant to have an own house. If building them would not be so expensive, of course...
Sadly, those 3D printed houses would not be a solution anyway, as every house to be built in Germany has to be approved by state officials in advance (in terms of safety, ecologic impact etc.) and those officials would likely never allow such houses, I guess. :)

how interesting regulations can interfere with the market and distort the built environment. Yea it seems like zoning boards with arbitrary power trips is a major factor to preventing more competition for building costs.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

yea not cost efficient for square footage where space is a premium, but multi stories I think takes better building material, so more expensive. Ultimately I imagine land cost would be a major factor. Seems like lots of vacant land aross planet, but i imagine landlords want to force people into existing urban areas.

We need farmland to feed the population, and personally I think we need some forests and wilderness as well - for recreation, for the sake of the nature itself, ecosystems and biological diversity. Either we need to stack up people (high-rise apartments) or we need to become fewer people. How much area would we need for the population of Beijing if everyone was supposed to have a house with some land around? Not to forget that a sprawled population needs lots of areas for roads as well.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I'm all for biodiversity and wilderness, sure stacking could be good, but won't the structures eventually need to be replaced? I just think the cheapest structures are single stories, or at least not sky scrapers, we probably could fit all the worlds population in a super tall building if we wanted to, I just think we still have plenty of space.

While this is totally an awesome advancement, the only drawback here if it passes the test is we would be withdrawing much-needed jobs from the people. But I hope in the future, companies or the government will have full awareness of it and at least never leave them hanging, unemployed.
Lol sorry I think about the future quite too much, it's just for me the world pretty runs at a brisk pace. I hope people can keep up and their living conditions get better as the world works do.

yea i'm against having jobs for the sake of jobs? Condemning humans to do tasks that a machine could do does not benefit society? If people were libertated from such tasks, even if 99% of them fucked off, if 1% became heart surgeons or physicists, I imagine society would be better off--especially if they were the next Einstein. We need people to be free to do what they want in this automated world of abundance.

Building a shed is a simple thing, it can be done fast through prefabricated units and it doesn't cost much through traditional means. The costs starts building up when it's needed to buy land, use an architect to get the house well-planned, apply for permissions, connect to the grids, install facilities, plumbing, electricity, insulate the house, etc.
