Obviously the value of finished goods is not a sum value of the parts and labor used otherwise there'd be no way to make any money building anything, much less houses.
Like do you think there's 1200 dollars of parts in an Iphone?

You’re trippin. My old 900sq ft apartment was fucking massive.

Not surround sound systems though. At least not the ones I drive. Hearing speakers that are mixed and balanced but still playing the whole audio track is one thing. Hearing isolated sounds from the rear speakers would be something else entirely.

We also need to step out of the "Every American family needs a 2,000+ square foot home with a huge yard" mindset. If we all lived with the same density as NYC and left nature to nature, we'd be much better off as a planet.
That doesn't mean restricting land, it means that the land we already allocate to housing will hold MUCH more housing and costa will ultimately go down.

The problem is that home costs (or the cost of any good for that matter) have little to do with material costs. Cost to produce a specific good really only sets the floor on prices. Demand will alway set the ceiling.
If demand pricing falls below the floor set by costs for too long, businesses fold or stop producing whatever that item is until supply constraints pull demand pricing up past the floor again.
3D printing of homes mostly looks to replace labor intensive on site work like pouring foundations / framing / drywall. Since that is traditionally done on site and fairly customized to the building site additive manufacturing is a good use case to reduce the costs considerably. But they won’t be passed to consumers since it doesn’t really increase home supply at any great leap.
There is still significant work to be done, though, on the quality of the final product.

I've always wanted to shit in a BMW without being ejected from the dealership.

They cannot make enough of that to take over the market so they will price those same as traditional houses

Also look up what was different between Newton and Einstein’s theory on gravity.

Lol you’re stubborn aren’t you. This particular TASS(Thin Actuator Sound System) produces sound by vibrating off the panel/surface it is attached to. Look up the word innovation.

For sure, it's trying. You just can't fix everything with software.

The basic physics of how sound works doesn’t change. To get loud bass notes, you need to be able to vibrate a lot of air. What technological advancements have broken fundamental concepts in physics?

Science evolves. It always works with the limitations of known sciences from a particular frame of time, but it evolves.
They thought Newton was the end all be all until Albert Einstein came. My point is technological advancement, limitation is the first barrier that is broken during advancements.

I mean, when I got in the beta, and turned it on, it was radically different. The software was very much doing something, and I wasnt in a different room.

We could probably get more suns to move into our neighbourhood if we start getting our shit together.
