4. You have to pay to move the houses...
...from the base. That is, jack 'em up, load 'em on special trucks, and schlepp 'em off to your land.

Also, you have to promise to maintain their architectural integrity and style, as they are artifacts of a unique design, etc.

Estimated costs range around a quatah milyon dollahs per house.

But they're "free" because you don't have to pay any MORE for the privilege of paying to have them moved, etc.

They are kinda cool, if you like that retro-chic thing. But they're small. And old. And very, very, VERY expensive to move.

helpfully,
Bright

5. Actually the houses are dismantled, they are all metal structures
designed during the fifties. The walls are square metal panels. You just have to cart the materials off and set them up.
