Does that 75% figure also take into consideration resale value? The last time I looked, most everybody wants a traditional home.

Aside from the widows I bet they would stop most bullets not to mention very fire resistant! Cement is actually going to be in short supply in the future. Poured or rammed earth homes are a good sturdy option if you want a more traditional look without the cement. Wish I had one.
I think Luke and Leia will prefer regular house

My dream home was a concrete dome with a convertible indoor shooting range for guns and archery, At the time, the largest diameter home Monolithic had plans for was 40 feet, so I became interested in their larger commercial constructions that I could convert to a residence. It was a dream, but I had fun with my imagination at the time.
Also - being fire-resistant, you might get a significant reduction in home insurance costs, along with heating and cooling.
