You are awesome for creating these amazing compilations. Thank you very much!

[TruckTaxiMoveIt]

thanks for the video, wish you had included more on pricing

Earth ships are the most amazing and by far the most sustainable idea of development and construction that I've found in the last 30+ years...

🤫

[animallover]

I like the ideology of the earth ship however, also am impressed with bamboo houses in Bali & the use of rammed earth. Hmm how to incorporate the three that isn’t square or oblong? Hmm 8 months on I’m now thinking, why not live in a van or RV? Wow that’s a great idea!

Mighty Buildings are meant to be cheaper but it's $183k for a 350 square foot studio apartment? Bruh that's basically a shed. Maybe in California $183k is a bargain for a shed but not in the rest of the country.

[jeanpaul]

Lol. That round house is hilarious. A step back not forward.

[mistysmith]

The Earth Ship and domes are brilliant. I would love to live in this type of community.

[rickloftus]

Great video, thank you! Having read widely on some of these techniques, a skeptic’s view: 1. Earthships, by using tires, raise a concern for toxic off-gassing from the tires, which are full of carcinogens like benzene. Even minerals like zinc can leach from tires into soil to levels toxic to plants. Supporters argue that tires are covered in soil so they don’t get exposed to sunlight/won’t break down to cause problems, but what if a soil covering erodes down over time? Something to think about. 2. Green Magic pre-fabs are appealingly inexpensive but since the soil covering in them is pretty thin, they are not as well-insulated for cold climates like where I live. 4. Mighty Buildings are tech-intensive, which makes the process energy-intensive and fragile. If the software or hardware has a glitch, how long will it take to fix? A crew of humans may have one person out sick but the rest of the crew keep working. That sounds like a silly objection but in a world with supply chain issues, this process seems complex and therefore fragile to me. 5. Urban Rigger: How will that look in a 2020’s style superstorm, hurricane, or rain bomb? In a world where coastal flooding is being seen from California to Florida to NYC, I’d rather be inland.

[dedisetiadi]

Wow keren fantastic construction, simple and low budget.

[newatthis]

Green magic looks like exactly what I'm looking for but even though I went to the site I couldn't find a price. LOTS of advertising but no price. Probably means it's out of my budget!!

[veritasvalere]

Talking about earth ships what do you think about the new electric silent yachts Catamarans?

[thechumpsbeendumped.]

“Their profile offers a high resistance to winds and other extreme conditions such as hurricanes.” 🤦🏻

[garyclarke]

These homes are beautiful. What is their finished cost. How can one get plans for these

[michellejean]

Love it. I'm ready to build. Now I have to find a builder in AZ. Any suggestions.

[PaNDaSNiPR]

I’m gonna build an Ark style house. With turrets and spike walls. Some tames roaming around 🤣

[availanila]

Those green something home look like teletubbies hi es to me and am loving it.

[kingmasterlord]

You want to talk about strong framing materials you need to mention loblolly pine. That shit gets stronger with age

[louisebean]

I think the future is on the water, particularly with sea levels rising. Whole floating cities could be built.

[itsnoduh]

Lots of cool homes just not the one in the thumbnail which IS the one I want to see... Sad

[Chimonger]

Why not build your own wall sections & put them up, then roof it same as a yurt, but better, with overhangs...instead of buying ready made, if you have good DIY skills? Reinvent a pole-barn? Dig your own underground or semi-underground space? How about the $50 Underground house style (4-square mining tunnel support tech)?
Look at the natural materials of your site; look at indigenous designs that happened in the area in long-past, to see what tech they used to survive what nature dishes out there.  
Build with/respecting & incorporating nature, instead of against it.
