HEY BABY LET'S GET US ONE OF THOSE NEW PAPER HOUSES

You can build houses out of paper, really. There is patented material that can produce a 387.5 square foot structure for about $5000 - small, but you can always buy more paper to build a bigger house.  

Just think about all these newly designed pre-fabricated houses popping up all over the place on vacant land.  These houses can be built very quickly and you could have paper neighborhoods in no time. 

The patterns used for this paper stuff that is similar to material that is used to make  airplanes and other products  that require light weight mateiral as well as strength.  

They are starting to build paper houses in places like Zimbabwe and Nigeria.  It's time we got them here.  A Paper House is better than no house - and they really look pretty cool.

Interesting concept.  There have been a few low cost housing solutions, but none seem to really take hold...

The other 'alternative' product I've heard going into use are the shipping containers that are used to ship products from China.  It seems that it is cheaper to leave them here rather than ship them back empty to China.  So there are people playing around with the concept of converting them into affordable housing options.

Robin - I haven't heard of paper houses, but hopefully they will have some sort of flame retardant so they don't catch fire easily.  I have heard of the shipping containers being used for housing.

The containers are a good idea but they get real hot in places like Vegas and it's hard to keep them cool.  The material on the paper house are constructed to handle any kind of weather.  Check them out on line.  There are all kinds of styles from colonial to southwestern.  I think it is a great alternative for affordable housing,
