Reply to comment by Scizmz 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

the problem lies in the massive R-1 zoning where you can't build small apartments , business/apartments. we have too many single family homes and not enough medium density housing, technically anyone can build up to a quadplex with a standard mortgage.

the biggest problem is that you can ONLY build single family homes

That still won't fix the underlying issues of commoditization. That just improves population density. You've watched some videos talking about suburban sprawl problems. Now get to the ones that talk about price-fixing for apartments and investment firms buying up entire developments en-masse.
