we *might* actually "voucher our way" pretty far out of housing crisis if these could be used to rent rooms, or driveways/pads for #MovableDwelling; especially if designed to incent property conversion for such uses. Portland is dipping into this with subsidy for @padsplit.bsky.social roomshares

awesome ideas, can we now do plug-in housing also? like, homes which can be made many ways by many parties, moved around and put where they're wanted, with relatively minimal effort and standard connections, also perhaps later moved again?

excellent constructive proposal, and Overton Window shifting, let's do this! I'd suggest adding, at least floating, measures for faster intervention, eg #MovableDwelling on interim & public sites, for present crisis needs, and the years it'll take for general reform impact

Fast, Affordable, Illegal | Sightline Institute Homes on wheels are a lifeline for families, but zoning codes are still trying to keep them out.

also, a #MobileDwellingUnit or #MovableDwelling is, or can be, *not* stable, ie 'permanent' in a place, which is a key virtue, often enabling other ways of stability; or better, agency.

how about regather a #MovableDwelling bill, revise 2025 #SB5332, allow the one housing form affordable (& ownable) to low income w/out subsidy or investment capital? Based on hearings, I'd guess it'd be passable by narrowing to a MTH #MovableTinyHouse definition

wonderful #StartPack for #Architecture and #BuiltEnvironment, thank you for doing this! 🙏If there's room and you think it appropriate, I'd be honored to be added. I focus especially on #MovableDwelling and other means of extreme adaptability, and policy/advocacy work to enable it—esp in US west.

Yes, and: often-overlooked forms of #uniplexhousing like #CottageCluster are likely the lowest-cost, lowest-capital homes buildable in much of US. Very especially, fully detached(able), as in #MobileDwelling, cf @sightline.org www.google.com/search?q=sig...

I love this graphic, though to a probably different end: conveying that all over, there's abundant little-utilized space that's highly suited for dwelling-scale #MovableDwelling, immediately, incrementally, & cheaply. Cf #MobileDwelling
