re: airships

maybe tiny houses and mobile homes can be moved via airship?

The airship company Flying Whales did a whole set of promotional images years ago. Scenes of them delivering the supports for high tension power lines, mobile hospitals, windmills things like that.

They get better if you imagine that each one is actually an elaborate supervillain airship-based heist and they're stealing houses and cargo and such.

Also I think their design has changed since these were made.
