It costs a lot to build though.

Really depends on the cost of labor, materials, and permits. You can actually build fairly cheap if you have the know-how, are able to invest the sweat equity, and don't have burdensome government regulations weighing you down. I was on a kick where I was watching videos about underground homes and other unconventional living a while ago where they were able to build things absurdly cheaply using salvage, etc. Granted, the more extreme examples were also people living alternative lifestyles, though.

However, I've also watched other videos where people built their own house for relatively cheap and it wasn't really an alternative lifestyle thing, so it's still doable outside cities, etc. (Although a lot of states clamp down on certain things because they rely on property taxes.)
