RV's are superior to houses. They are cheap, mobile and easier to maintain. What are your toughts?

Counterpoint: Is the USA-style quarter-acre single family property really "traditional housing"? Seems more a symptom of the US brand of colonialist propaganda ("Manifest destiny") to me. It's a simulacra of a farmstead, and not really traditional at all.

Anyway I actually disagree about RVs. For what they get you, RVs are not cheap. 100sqft or so of claustrophobia. And not necessarily easy to maintain. And because they are motor vehicles, they have an expected useful lifespan that is probably below an order of magnitude shorter than your typical single family stick build. Essentially they're land yachts.
