An automated manufacturing facility for homes. Raw inputs go in, affordable housing comes out (powered by solar) that can be transported by roads. Would pair this with partnering with companies that are fully supportive of remote work, as well as coop land trusts, thereby bootstrapping affordable communities with low costs of living, requiring a minimal work week to afford to live there.

I'd basically be leveraging my "sabbatical" to increase the free time of others at scale, which would hopefully spur higher quality of life and possibly faster innovation.

Anyone know if that YC cities project is still a thing?
