“Homes that don’t produce food, energy, water, etc. will be the homes that will see a decline in value. As things stand today, it won’t be long before the value of a home is based PRIMARILY on its productive value.”‘ – JR
A resilient home produces:
- Energy
- Food
- Water
- Waste processing
- and other essential services.
Why?
Here’s a simple answer. A resilient home protects you against breakdowns in the global supply chain/economy. It’s not merely a black hole of consumption — a place where you consume and sleep. It should be a productive asset. The greater production value of your home, the less vulnerable you are to these disruptions.
It’s not as hard as you think. With modern technology and techniques (gathered from around the world), you can turn your home into a dynamo of production.
