    When I was doing framing for houses me and my coworker could frame a 3 story house in a week and a half. A house can go from a hole in the ground with foundation pilings to built in like 2 months if you can get all the trades lined up right.

    2 framers, 1 concrete person with 2 extra crew, 1 plumber and apprentice, 1 electrician and apprentice, 2 drywallers, 1 painter, 1 finish carpenter, 1 tiler and 1 carpet person is all you need and a lot of those trades can be done by the same people. Just 15 people max can build a 2 story house with basement in a summer.

    Homelessness is a policy position actively pursued by all levels of government.
