The future of affordable housing is GMO.
Now that you're done laughing, it's not actually that far fetched using existing technology. Modify or create a dense wood producing organism to grow instead of a traditional "tree shape" into the framing for a house, plus use same technology to cause growth at accelerated pace (look at how fast albezias grow). Here's a quick and easy example of what can be done without GMO, now imagine it on Frankenstein steroids http://www.odditycentral.com/art/arborsc...f-art.html
