I don’t really understand how this helps outside of a world consisting of an idealized plane.
The main issue with housing is that it has to conform to the environment:
Rainfall , both maxima over a few seconds and average of days.
Earthquakes
Flooding
Torandoes
Temperature
Air composition, wind patterns
Things like humidity that are mainly a combination of the above
But also things like:
State/country specific regulations (e.g. fire hazard rulings, environmental rulings deciding what kind of air conditioning you can use and how many solar panel you’d roof needs)
Accounting mess because property taxes might get weird and when things get weird the IRS policy states that it’s the taxpayer’s job to navigate the complexity.
This idea sounds like something extremely hard to implement and extremely fragile. It only brings marginal benefits, since at the eod the foundation is still immutable.
Also, irrelevant while the pop of almost all US cities is growing, since this becomes efficient compared to rent only when assuming loads of vacant housing.
