I should have found the Buckminster Fuller quote, but it was from the 1920s, most likely in 4D Timelock. He was comparing the weights of houses as well.

Those are some big numbers, I was thinking $40-120K. Build cost not speculative real estate price.

You can assemble a kit car in your driveway today and (possibly) save money. Speedway Ts and Cobra replicas.
