Houses: What are they good for?

Recently, our reigning supreme being, who somehow got to be supreme being...
because Plato...

decided to spice up the economic module a bit. And while I was never around when houses worked anything like this, I must say... kudos. This looks like it might help with some things. It will reduce the impact of WAMing, stimulate the job market, add another layer to the economic module, and it will allow players to have more control over their own energy supply.

The one thing I don't know, and actually want to ask about, is the way this is going to affect other markets. Not just in general, but specifically. With numbers. I know that isn't this nation's speciality, but our resident Harvard economist might have something to say about it. If you have any ideas about how this might work, fire away in the comments section.

well in the beginning it ppl will want to invest in these companies and prices will start high for raws and houses. and since a lot of the jobs will be going towards this not as many tanks and food will be produced causing the prices to go up. however long term you should see things begin to come back down and stabilize and eventually it will be back to normal prices might be a little higher than they were but everything should be in sync. so basically prices of everything will rise a little bit for now. it will be interesting to see though this game is starting to look a little better and we might actually have a little economy now

and if the houses end up being a big thing and they are actually worth buying then wages will stay higher giving consumers more money which they will end up buying more things on market raising prices again
