As an architect, Ivan Rupnik thinks the solution to America’s affordable housing shortage is obvious: Build more houses. Start today. But the way homes are built in the United States makes speed impossible.
Years ago, Rupnik’s Croatian grandmother, an architect herself, pointed him to an intriguing answer to this conundrum: modular housing projects built in Europe in the 1950s and ’60s. Rupnik was awed. Sure, prefab complexes, and especially Soviet bloc housing, could be ugly and homogeneous, but the process created millions of housing units in a flash.
Hooked, Rupnik started researching modular housing for his doctoral dissertation. In the archives of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, he stumbled upon a reference in an old journal article that took him by surprise: an industrialized housing initiative called Operation Breakthrough that built nearly 3,000 units between 1971 and 1973 — in the United States. How had he never heard about it?
remember the elites arent going to live in this garbage. techno-communism is a thing (per article)

Who do you suppose the "new americans" will vote for? They can't vote you say? Not citizens? Yeah that'll matter! Not allowing new muricans to vote is...(here it comes)...RAYSIS! 😂 The current administration makes no distinction between citizens and illegals, except they require citizens too pay for the illegals and not complain. Why would they make a distinction between who can vote and who can't?

The illegal invaders will be given all of the good houses, and Whites will be forced to live in ze pods.
