Summary Points
        * We need a complete paradigm shift on how housing is produced from permitting to financing to construction. 
     
        * The traditional construction triangle is Good-Fast-Cheap. It is said you can only do two out of three of these. It is possible to do all three, but we need to look to different methods to make it happen. 
     
        * Viviendas goal is to have their employees only use safety glasses, gloves and a wrench to finish a house on site.
