Build a house? Or many? Start a house-building start-up and get tech VC money interested in it, claim there’s some AI or put them on the blockchain and make a mobile app or something and VC’s will poor cash in to your lap faster than you can build em…… but alas, always the problem is red tape, “zoning” and probably NIMBY-ism

Need more pods.

Although I'm not a fan of the derogatory nature of the word, if anyone could invent the capsule hotels were saw in our heads reading cyber punk over the reality that would be good

I think it's mostly fire safety issues you have to solve.

Not sure you'll solve the actual issue around building permissions and NIMBY. The population has become to easy to control. It's too easy blaming poverty on the 1% not where it lies, mainstream America.
