“Modern” construction is stupid and inefficient.
Homes should be built autonomously in a factory setting, transported, and then pieced together!
Next year I will allocate all of my wealth management income on this project.

Roughly 220 billionaires reside in California. They employ roughly 10 million people. If a wealth tax passes, everyone with a billion-dollar idea will think twice about whether they want to build that business in California. But that isn’t even the most dangerous part.
When this turns out to raise less money than expected, the bar will be lowered to $100 million. Then $50 million. Then $10 million. Then $1 million. They’ll call it “the millionaire tax.” And since ~80% of the California population isn’t a millionaire, they’ll vote it into existence because “it doesn’t affect them.”
But many of those “millionaires” are providing jobs. Housing. Innovation. Buying products and services. They’re a net economic benefit. If you discourage them from living in California, they will leave. Then it becomes a downward spiral where they have to tax everyone else to stay afloat.
Not saying the system is perfect. But a simpler solution might simply be: spend less money and encourage more people to move back / create a billion dollar idea.
I’ve scheduled a zoom meeting with the Douglas County NV planning department at 2pm tomorrow, to ask them if I can construct a full-sized medieval castle overlooking topaz lake
