Embryo Housing

[trilliumgrl]

Interesting concept. A blog post about a project in Chile that gets slum dwellers a very basic house, but one with services such as electric and sewer, which makes it a vast improvement over their current situation. What I find most interesting is what people start doing to improve this basic house once they have it. The original article is here, but I think the blog post has interesting ideas about formalization of slums, which he has written on before.

That is an awesome concept! I want an embryo house now, and I'm not even as far down the living situation totem pole as the people living in shanty-towns.

It does make me think that when I eventually do have the money to build my own home, I may do something like pay to have the embryo built, and then do the rest myself over time. Or I'll just build my gypsy wagon, that works too. Then I have a home that goes where ever I want it to!
