When it crawled out from the primordial waters on to some beach that may or may not still exist, the first fish like creature must have freaked out considerably. There it was on the ancient ground, experience something for the very first time, a sensation that no other creature before it has ever felt. There was no way it could have predicted the things that would walk on land after it. One of those things would be humanity. Humanity did not just walk on land, however. It transformed that land. Humankind blew up mountains in order to get to the resources underneath. In cleaved the land in order to create new bodies of water for ships to pass through. No creature on the planet has ever exerted as much dominion over the world as humanity has, and all from a creature that is not even that gifted physically speaking since almost every other great ape species is much stronger and faster. The dominion of humanity over the planet meant that it spread throughout all the landmasses. These landmasses are now dotted with cities. Surrounding those cities are suburban areas where many families live. Some of those families live in Taos New Mexico custom homes.

Other animals have natural defenses against the elements. Birds get feathers, other animals get fur. But all that a human gets is some fur on its arms, legs, face head and pelvic area. This hair is nowhere near enough to keep a specimen warm in extreme cold. Early humans had to settle for killing animals and then stripping them of their natural defenses and using them as their own. But then people started building shelters and those shelters proved adept at repelling the elements.

People want houses. A lot of wealth is built on homeownership. Property values in a stable country will generally go up. As such, a house purchased for a certain amount can exponentially increase its value with give a sufficient amount of time. Also, a house is great for shelter.

There can be some advantages to living in a desert. The air is crisp and dry. The weather is always warm. Rain and snow are both nonissues barring drastic climate change, which is not scheduled to happen for another few generations still. Now, real estate prices can also be cheaper in certain areas, which means that more people will be able to afford a home.

People have unique tastes. But not all houses are unique unto themselves. Property developers will often make several different copies of the same house when creating their preplanned communities, which may not suit all tastes and sensibilities.

People considering home ownership will like be in a financially stable position. Despite this, building a house will be expensive. The materials will have to be paid for and the laborers will have to be compensated fairly. There are entities out there that will offer loans for such an endeavor.

The firm hired should be good at its job. If it is not, the home built will be subpar. Ideally, a home should be able to stand the test of time, if only to build wealth.

When building a structure, the total area has to be considered. Going over a property line can result in civil litigation. As such, it is important that the design be feasible within the physical space.

People need shelter. Sometimes those shelters are built from scratch. But that is not going to come easy and it is not going to come quick.
