I’ve been noticing a rash of ‘TINY HOUSES’ programs on the Home Shows. Is this the ‘ideal’ house of the future? Even they are priced $60+.

Then there are those Chinese modular houses that come together in three hours.

I think the company should add a disclaimer "Live in this home at your own risk."

Excerpt from the article: "Details are hazy. According to 3D-printing news site, 3Ders, the company is using special material they're keeping a secret for now. The material sourced from industrial and agricultural wastes apparently not only allows rapid assembly but can also withstand a 9.0 earthquake
