Reply to comment by See5harp in Can 3-D Printing Help Solve the Housing Crisis? - Standard construction can be slow, costly, and inefficient. Machines might do it better. by speckz

Not to mention banks letting houses sit until they are so expensive to repair, the only people buying them are investors who fix them then jack the price up so high that no one can afford them. House goes into foreclosure and there's still 100k owed, by the time anything happens the house sells for 15k. How does that make any sense? There's house all aroubd my small town like this. It's even worse in the bigger towns/cities near me. It's a fucking shit show.

I def get like the idea you can make houses cheaper to build and maybe make it more affordable for the ones already in the market but like I feel like in many cities there is def places to buy or rent. The issue isn’t inventory of houses it’s affordable houses. Just seems like this is just going to increase profit margins for potential buyers.
