My partner and I were discussing this over dinner, our ideas went from buying up land to finance organic farming and distributing it at the lowest price to crashing the financial system to “reset” everybody’s bank account with no possible recovery. Any other ideas?

    200,000,000,000 / 200,000 = 1 million homes.

    There are about 140 million homes in the USA.

    You have ~2.5 people per home in the USA.

    You would essentially be able to buy everyone living in Chicago or Houston their own home per population.

    Chicago, IL (Population: 2,670,406)
    Houston, TX (Population: 2,378,146)

      I think I would rather work with a builder for higher density housing simply because the money could be stretched further. We need to rethink the concept of housing and homes.

        Bet you could buy a lot of teepees with that money and increase the curb appeal of tent cities.
