Our building practices are primitive
Corruption haunts Contractor World
Business thrives on needless renovation and repair
Build for severe weather
Safe secure complexes
not detached homes
Mass produced modular elements
built as cars have been
Detroit could morph into
making the smart surfaces of spaces
Forget individual plumbing
Forget individual disposal
septic tanks basement sump pumps
make an infinitely duplicable matrix
make modular ecosystem elements
to circulate recycle and dispose
To avoid severe weather
design no more than four levels
for the most likely forms of severe weather in an area
Shoreline communities should have elevation
Stadium-like structures to withstand hurricane winds
We need communities that are 21st century
with built in protections and shared eco-sustainability
