Reply to comment by SafeHayven in Researchers 3D-printed a fully recyclable house from natural materials | Engadget by PxN13

Not if the technology/designs etc are only licensed to state housing authorities, such as MaineHousing (who is in on this specific project). The homes could be printed and assembled for close to cost.

If they’re licensed to governments, then we will see higher prices and much lower quality. The only entities more corrupt than major corporations are governments.

This comments section is insanity.

Private, corporate developers have caused so many problems for the US housing market. In Maine, it’s easy to buy a small piece of land with public utilities ready to hook up and plop down a house. 3D printing a home that can be assembled and electrified within one day will save so much on labor costs alone.

Maine is the one state I haven’t visited, so I can’t speak too much about local conditions there. Still, my experiences with governments show that they are corrupt and mind-blowingly inefficient.
