reply to: I found a story about the housing crisis in Argentina, and the pros and cons of prefabricated homes to help fix it. Argentina has suffered from a combination of a failing economy, job losses, and skyrocketing housing prices. The result of this is that 25% of all families live in homes that are too small for the number of people. Prefabricated homes could provide a quick supply of more affordable housing. The drawback is that the homes would likely be imported, and the assembly would be done by the company. Even if local workers are hired, there will be few jobs available, and the influx of less expensive housing would harm the local builders
