People are quick to laugh at nerds with a dream of modular homes and stuff, but they are right.
Houses should be more like software.
In all respects where it sucks ass, they are already like software.

@WandererUber I'VE WORKED CONSTRUCTION, WHAT EXACTLY IS MEANT BY MODULAR HOMES?

@WandererUber NAILED JOISTS ARE MADE AT A FACTORY AND SHIPPED IN, THE BUILDING CODE ALREADY MAKES THE BUILDING FAIRLY MODULAR AS IN EVERYTHING IS MADE OF KNOWN STANDARDIZED ASSEMBLIES THAT SLOT TOGETHER

@WandererUber YOU MEAN LIKE THE HOUSE IS SEVERAL MANUFACTURED HOUSE STYLE ENCLOSURES SLID TOGETHER WITH PASSAGEWAYS IN BETWEEN THEM?

THE ONE BIG PROBLEM I SEE IS THE ROOFLINE WILL BE A MCMANSION STYLE LANDSCAPE OF HILLS AND VALLEYS THAT ARE A NIGHTMARE TO CLEAN, BUT MCMANSIONS ALREADY HAVE THAT

@nugger I'm not smart enough to predict what sort of tech will win out. It might well be that aircrete big blocks, maybe even made on-site, win out because of better insulation properties, or something different

but yes, basically that. I don't think the McMansion roof is a necessary consequence. If you standardize the dimensions of the room modules, you could have standardized roof sections that fit over it, and the corner piece would just be a corner piece.
It might even reduce McMansionification of the roof to have fewer available combinations

@WandererUber @nugger seems reasonable, but incentives are to make rooms smaller and roofs lower do you can fit more subhumans per square meter (coffin homes are trending goyim)

@wizardmanperson @WandererUber PEOPLE WILL LIKE WHATEVER THEY'RE TAUGHT TO LIKE BY MEDIA AND INFLUENCERS
LIKE THE TINY HOME STUFF
JUST GET YOUNGER PEOPLE WITH THAT SHIT AND YOU'RE SET

THE OTHER QUESTION IS WHAT THE SOCIAL ELITE DECIDES TO INFLUENCE UPON THE MASSES DOESN'T CHANGE THE MASSES BIOLOGY AND INCLINATIONS SO DIFFERENT TASTES WILL RESULT IN DIFFERENT OUTCOMES

@nugger @WandererUber it's not like young people have that much of a choice.
