This seems optimistic.
If a "professional tenant" with an adversarial landlord can hang on for years, I feel like my chances with no landlords and a clean deed is actually much better.
It's simply pitting the most dysfunctional municipal and judicial systems against each other with the default outcome being people being housed.
I don't understand this plan. Won't you lose all the money you spent buying the houses and building the quadplexes?
I think that the plan isn't to make money, but to make real progress on solving housing availability.
Kind off, the potentially low marginal cost of everything housing construction related (due to AI and robotics) really creates a lot of space for creative business plans here.
The municipality can’t take away the land (most of the value here) and putting the house on top will be relatively cheap, given the low total labor costs.

If you have not, do read Cory Doctorow's 'The Lost Cause': it features a rebuild like this (no robots tho iirc.) You might like his mid-singularity novel Walkaway, too :)

they do this all the time!
Then, I just buy houses in High COL areas and start popping them up and moving families in ASAP. What are they gonna do evict working families? Good luck
Then dissolve the underlying corporation before the municipal fines kick in and escape into the night. Render municipal and neighborhood control laws meaningless.
*may not be humanoid, I'm skirting that debate here.
