It wouldn't be difficult to set up a small building crafts school to teach young couples how to build their own homes. Programs to fund students exist almost everywhere in the world. The materials are not expensive. There is ample lands. Why not let your municipality become the first to give young citizens a chance to start a new life debt free?
Imagine if America put it's resources into this kind of thing instead of foreign wars..

@threalist @wrathofgnon then the financial markets would suffer, or the costs of building materials and land would go up even further. Which do you suspect would be more likely?
> then the financial markets would suffer
The financial markets would suffer from lack of war?
Man, you might be right bit that is bleak.

@threalist @wrathofgnon i meant they would suffer from people who could build their own houses. Every dollar you don't borrow is ten bucks the bankers don't make. Stupid, oversized, overpriced houses make stupid, oversized, overpriced mortgages.
The consequence would have to beither an inflation in the costs of building materials and land (even more than now), or damage to the financial sector.
