    Each refugee can keep 1 home for every 3 homes they build. Obviously one human isn’t building 3 homes, but if a squad of 50 refugees build 150 homes, they keep 50 and sell 50. This includes turning single family homes into plexes.

    Im conflicted on multi-use buiness sapce. Either homes can be replaced with businesses at a ratio set by each city, but probably somewhere in the 1/5 to 1/10 range; or business are excluded from the sell 2/3rds rule (aka you could build a 4 plex with 3 homes and one business, than keep one home and one business, selling 2 homes)

    Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

      Ah yes, lets build houses with 0 code by people who are VERY unfamiliar with our climate

      Sounds great till you put 2 brain cells together

          Ive worked for a Sikh Indian on a 4 story hotel and he tried to bypass lots of regulations and did get caught a few times. I had to install door hangars on every door in the rented rooms after the drywall was installed.

          Lots of moved electrical lines not on drawing and never added to BPs. So yeah, I call BS

              Thats just one case of many I had witnessed. Now take people who are desperate and you will see people cutting corners everywhere.

              Plus, how many job sites have you personally worked on??

                Somewhere shy of a hundred back in the 00’s when I was an electrician apprentice. Part of the reason I didn’t stay in the trades was all the bullshit I saw. My boss was always on code and he always kept us on code, but that wasn’t the case for all the other trades running around.

                I personally never saw a FOB worker cutting code, but that’s probably because the inspector was racist as fuck who would double check out work and hand wave all the white guys.

                I fell into the FOB category at the time, but marginaply. I’m an immigrant flavour that’s considered white now.

      I mean, that’s in the end how it works, right? Immigrants take your houses/jobs/whatever, but they also make them, and actually at a higher rate than they take them for several reasons.

      It’s just them all coming at once faster than we can build stuff that would be the problem. When an American asks me about emigrating on here, I say “bring an RV”.
