@BowsacNoodle I live in one of those soulless modern buildings and it is only good at retaining heat, but does not regulate moisture and once the heat is in you would need ac to cool it back down, since you know summers are getting hot af here. We had a lot of knowledge about building materials that where able to do just that and are readily available. There are a few architects and construction workers which are trying to do that but not at scale since that would go against the system. If inflation was not fucking me in the ass I would build such a home for my family but even with doing a lot of labour myself it would cost me around 300K more then I can afford. Thanks you kind buerocrats
