this Austin startup (founded by an ex-SpaceX engineer) just figured out how to build your house for HALF the cost
when Elon talks about abundance and money becoming irrelevant in the future, this is what he means
the trick is building the house in a factory instead of onsite:
> machines make every wall, floor and roof panel, plus your kitchens and bathrooms
> the whole house packs into 4 shipping containers and gets trucked to your plot of land
> the crew snaps it together on site in days, with about 1/10th (!!) the labor of a normal build
right now this is just one small factory in Texas
now imagine 10 years from now, when there are 10s of millions of robots around the world constructing stuff 24/7
building is about 64% of what a new home costs in America (the land is only about 14%).
so if you take most of that away, a house starts to cost more like a car
and housing is the biggest bill most people will ever pay.
once that gets cheap, and the same robots start making everything else cheap too, you can just get whatever you want
welcome to superabundance my friend
@shawngorham@bethanyjbabcock +1 for this.
Selling a home that's been in the family for 50 years has so many emotions. An inspector comes through and sellers take it as a list of insults. It can wreck a deal fast.
@shawngorham Depends on the timing and model.
When we bought our Y, CA + federal credit was overwhelmingly in the purchase favor.
But they run lease deals where that becomes significantly less per month.
Essentially every transaction in the last 6 months has had credits to the buyer negotiated mid contract.
Buyerβs can ask for a lot right now. And sellers have little choice if it's reasonable.
The 7-year, $245,000,000 deal between the Angels and Anthony Rendon is finally over (although the Angels still owe him more than $30 million).
During this time, Rendon played 257 games and missed 877 games.
