  1. This is the life I’ve been waiting for. Definitely have my own unique design and it only such a printer can do it 🤍🤍🤍

  3. The housing crisis isn’t from the construction side. It’s the red tape to get a project to the construction stage. Citizens, cities, and towns fight every project that comes up.

  5. I forsee every home with a 3D printer. When I need to replace a part, I download the software and print the part. No delivery needed.

  6. Putting max. 4 people on 20×30 sqm is not going to solve the housing crisis. You have to build multi-story houses for that. Private companies and landlords will find a way to make a lot of money with that. Housing should be owned by the state and the people living in it. Adequate housing should be number one priority for governments.

  7. The housing crisis will not be stopped with 3D printed suburbs. Medium density midrises, good public transport, walkable streets and AFFORDABLE RENT would.

  9. We don't know that the Chinese people ask democracy in China! Why has it become an illegal act? What is the Chinese government trying to covering up?

  11. Engaging with fellow women in this thread feels like being part of a movement, united by our shared values and aspirations for a brighter future.🍭
