The Perfect $100,000 House: A Trip Across America and Back in Pursuit of a Place to Call Home Paperback - 2007

by Karrie Jacobs; Gary Panter (Illustrator)


Summary

For anyone who obsessively scours the real estate section and dreams of purchasing or building a house, The Perfect $100,000 House is a beacon of hope. Founding editor in chief of Dwell magazine and noted architecture and design critic Karrie Jacobs decided to see for herself whether it was still possible in America's overheated real estate market to build a home of one's own for a reasonable sum. Her quest took her across the country, where she encountered creative solutions to the housing dilemma, as well as visionary architects and builders revolutionizing how Americans think about homes, construction, and community.

First line

On the first of February 2003, the day the shuttle Columbia falls from the sky, I am in Houston, which likes to think of itself as "Space City."
