Re:Tesla largely responsible for slide in U.S. home solar sales by newman8r on Saturday December 16, 2017 @01:52PM (#15941094)
That's an interesting thought on home ownership being disrupted.

My vision for the future is that the combination of dropping solar costs, the ability to work remotely, and the high cost of home ownership will open up new areas of land for communities to develop where it was not feasible before.

Combined with other trends like tiny homes, 'van dwelling', etc, it seems to make sense: people want to live high quality lifestyles without the high cost.

I picked up 5 acres in the california desert for a few thousand dollars, I lived there in a trailer for a while and learned a lot - I'm convinced it will become more popular as people start to realize it's doable.
