I completely missed the boat on that one with home prices. I guess that's why it's a tough issue. It's not something you can just answer without knowing a ton of variables which maybe is a task for AI. My bad. I really liked this video -> [VIDEO] regarding a man who tried to help (in LA) by making tiny homes.
