It's a job creator, and a home.
Once are govt catches wind of this, expect billions more of
money to be spent.

Some of this money will be allocated to new pod-divisions.

Beijing architect lives in egg-shaped house on sidewalk

"The pod features a solar panel on the roof that powers a lamp in the cozy space. The house cost around $1,000 to build (6427 yen), according to China Daily."

For $100 I could buy an early 1980s Chrysler K car. Then stick solar panels on the roof and hood, rip out the front seats and put in bookshelves and a little table for the laptop, insulate the thing with shredded styrofoam drink cups mixed with all-natural white glue.... I'd have an easily moved "solar powered home" for well under $1000 and it would be better -looking than this turd teepee.

"Turd teepee" indeed. A perfect description.
