California is in the middle of an affordable-housing crisis that cities across the state are struggling to solve. “If we don’t build housing differently, then no one can have any housing,” said Rick Holliday, a Bay Area real estate developer. He thinks one answer lies in an old shipyard in Vallejo, about 40 minutes northeast of San Francisco. Here, in a football-field-sized warehouse where workers used to make submarines, Rick recently opened Factory OS, which manufactures homes. In one end go wood, pipes, tile, sinks and toilets; out another come individual apartments that can be trucked to a construction site and bolted together in months. The basic concept of prefabricated building isn’t new. In 1624, Massachusetts settlers built homes out of prefabricated materials shipped from England. Over the next few centuries, new versions of the idea seemed to pop up anywhere people needed to build lots of homes in a hurry. But the idea of factory-built housing was never adopted long or widely enough to make an impact, at least in the U.S. Now, though, construction prices have risen about 5% a year for the past 3 years across the U.S., and costs have gone up even faster in big cities and across California. The surge is coming at the worst possible time for booming cities like San Francisco, already dealing with an affordable-housing crunch. @christiehemmklok took this photo of a station inside Factory OS.
