I liked your link to the factory housing.
The negative side to them is, as I see, the plunder of them by the wealthy land owners to employ them as renters in back yards, to further extort rents from those least unable to afford them.
The concept will only serve to further impoverish the younger generation and the usual marginal fringes who are normally excluded from a meaningful place in society, and given a role as rent slaves, shoring up property investors profits.
The resentment towards those ends is not hard to unearth.
More than any one thing, the housing and rental market, is totally changing the face of our society here in Australia, as elsewhere in the free (sic) world.
There were times in Medieval History, when urbanisation reversed itself; often due to famines and wars: but that reversal achieved the aims of rural production geared towards immediate survival.
The alternative today to that phenomena is observable in people tramping aimlessly in vehicles with nowhere to call home. Homeless!
The romance of this lifestyle soon loses its gloss as reality exposes the real intent of wandering aimlessly as an alternative to playing a meaningful role in society from a fixed abode. A life as an outcast!
Easy it is to conclude on the dangers to such people and their mental health prospects.
And now the circle is complete, starting from my post above. Unless there is stability for young families secure in long term affordable housing, there can only be socially dislocated children as reward.
