Good points, but who knows? That's why I'd like to see more discussion about the challenges. I get that this is essentially an ad, or a fluff piece if you'd rather. And I don't begrudge them that - it's a compelling story! I'd simply like to see them addressing some of the potential issues, any longevity testing, stuff like that.
Like, rather than being negative about it, I'm excited enough to be interested in the next level, which is maintenance and TCO. I mean, ideally, we're building these and living in them for multiple generations, right? There are houses in Germany that people have been living in continuously for longer than the USA has existed. How do these materials hold up over time?
