[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1203524, member: 2189"] Why not rethink stick and frame construction that thanks to zoning laws holds a monopoly on how homes for example are built. What if homes that are all but fireproof could be built that reduced the need of a fire department to begin with? If a home were fireproof, would it need fire insurance? What if zoning laws were relaxed and a new construction method developed that used very low cost natural materials that even vastly lowered the cost of home construction or in some cases made it possible to build a home with no debt at all? Let's see who could get cut out of this picture. No need for fire insurance thus insurance takes a profit hit. No home loan or no long term home loan so finance capital takes a profit hit. With low cost homes, the real estate industry takes a profit hit. Again with low cost or low value homes, the local tax man takes a profit (tax revenue) hit. If the home is built a certain way, the home might in effect warm and cool itself, thus big energy takes a profit hit. If said home is capable of generating it's own energy (off grid) big energy takes another profit hit. Anybody see a pattern here or do we just close our cell doors and accept all the arguments from authority? [/QUOTE]
