David Patterson predicts home construction cost and time will fall 10-100x within a decade: near-instant AI design iteration down to every screw, superintelligence-optimized permitting, humanoid robots working 24/7 and capable of every trade (homes built in days instead of months), and AI-optimized production across the entire materials supply chain. He concludes that even the poorest people today should prepare to live in their dream homes within a few years.
