They are 50% cheaper and cooler temp wise than normal housing (I hear $20,000 each) they are assembled like lego blocks in a week, and the government has set an eventual goal of 100k (18k for now), when you combine this with the expected 70-80k of traditional public housing, and private sector construction, then Venezuela could very well see the end the of the ranchos or favelas within a generation.
