The *New York Times* has run an article about the Futuro House, a little pre-fab from the 1970s. Sixty or so still exist, but it appears there's a growing interest in them (which the *NYT* article will no doubt feed). Who knows, perhaps they'll go back into production. The expert on these houses bought his for about $2,000 back in 1997\. That's cheap. Maybe we can use them to solve the homeless problem.

> The circular house, 11 feet high and 26 feet across, was designed by Matti Suuronen, a Finnish architect, in 1968\. A hatch door in its lower half opened down to reveal steps, like the door of a small airplane, and led into a room outfitted with six plastic bed-chair combinations and a central fireplace slab, as well as a kitchenette and a bathroom.
