Austin Startup Sees a Big Future for Little Homes
Don&#x27;t really understand the US rent prices. I mean, I can understand SF or Manhattan being expensive.<p>But the US has huge empty countryside, vastly expansive residential areas, AND, for the most part, houses that to European sensibilities seem like made for dolls (thin wood panels for walls, cheap construction, no concrete or real bricks to be seen, etc). And parts are much cheaper than in Europe.<p>Both of these factors should keep prices very very low. $600 per month micro homes? You can get $600 per month regular, spacious home, in a city like Berlin -- and much lower in other places.
