    When humans do build their own nest, the govt comes in and destroys it and throws out all of their meager possessions.

    It’s actually quite cheap to build a house if you can put on some of the work yourself. I talked to an architect specialized in self building houses and she said you’d build a nice house for 60k€.

    Gotta buy the place where you’re allowed to build it of course…

      Hmm, I guess they have to control it somehow. In US the land is super cheap, but even if you want to build a house yourself, you still have to goto contractors for materials and things, and everything ends up being more expensive than what a company can buy them for. So you end up with around the same price as a new house you can buy even if you save a bit of labor. Only people I’ve seen do it are people already in construction industry and can get materials for similar prices and use their connections for things
