-I’m sorry I even have to charge for this at all.
+An overwhelming number of the people who could benefit most from this type of housing won’t be able to afford it—even if priced to just cover operating expenses—and that feels terrible.
-I wanted to make it more affordable.
+I’m working on a solution.
+Specifically, I am actively seeking alternative sources of funding to either partially or wholly subsidize the rent so that more people with PTSD can live here to help them heal.
-I’m sorry I even have to charge for this at all. I’d provide housing for free if I could.
+Big builders with their much larger economies of scale could steal all my R&D, copy this strategy, and execute it more affordably—and I hope they do exactly this (that’s why I published everything), because millions could benefit from it.
 I set out to create a new type of housing that would benefit society, and I ended up making a type of housing that I don’t think people should have to pay for.
 Because of all the specific therapeutic benefits of this place, it’s sort of like I set out to build a house and ended up building an MRI machine. It’s this neat device that could help a lot of people heal, but it’s terribly expensive to run and I am wholly unqualified to operate it, even though I designed and built it.
