1956. I build some more farms. Diversification will help exports. I build a bank, because I believe in capitalism. I praise the United States again and diplomatic relations with them soar!!! I now have $25,000 to invest in new money making ventures!!!
Crime seems to have gone up, but people should realize that crime is a matter of personal responsibility and stop committing them. I refuse to build a police station, stating that nothing is preventing citizens from employing their own police or guarding their own shacks. Some citizens have taken to the woods and armed themselves. The rebels have destroyed property. The government refuses to be coerced into giving handouts to lazy scum and the army are dispatched to deal with the guerillas. I tell the people that foreigners who hate our freedoms are trying to meddle in the island's affairs.
Then the intellectuals start complaining. The pointy headed bastards are complaining that we don't have a school. They can start their own school, there's no law against it. How dare these leeches try to get everyone else to pay for their children's education!!!!
1957 - The worthless snobby intellectuals are complaining again. This time they are complaining that there is no liberty on Tropico. I retort that the government prevents citizens from doing nothing consensual and does not steal their money through taxation, nor tell them what to do. What more could they possibly want!?! I agree to build a TV station, since the market has not yet provided one. I aim to privatize it asap.
The population passes 100. This shows that we are on the right track. However, the rebel attacks increase. I resolve to build an army post.
1958 - It is time to build a power station to power the TV station and new industries. I build that and a lumber mill. There are too many unemployed people on the island, which is a sign that wages are set too high. I cut the minimum wage. People complain, but it is for their own good, as the economy will surge.

Like a good capitalist he is renting them out-- Vel and Flubber make a long term deal where the Flubber family get long term usage and I think Vel is allowing others to sleep in them as part of a "free promotion"-- People love these things and he hopes to arrange long term rentals-- again on the barter system
Or conversely, perhaps he plans to offer free accomodations to people that perform work in some of Velco's enterprises.
Heck he can even give them to the "government" in lieu of taxes if a suitable valuation can be agreed

 Right on, Master Flubber.
Everybody sleeps free at the outset. After all, labor is required to assemble them, and everyone is participating in that. Consider that the "Free Promotion" that Flubber mentioned. During the transitionary phase, while we're still getting ourselves sorted out, everybody has a place to stay.
This is not dissimilar to what I would have done had I been the hotel owners who forced people fleeing from the recent Florida Hurricane. Rather than upping the rates, as they did, I would foster tremendous goodwill on the island, by allowing everybody a comfortable place to stay.
And I am getting "paid" as it were...the compost toilets are collecting rent...and I intend to sell fertilizer to the agro companies...
As time goes by, and people begin to specialize toward one or other activity on the island, we can negotiate rents, or, said people can make their own indigenous housing.
Meanwhile, once those windmills are in operation, I'm gonna lease 'em to LoA if he's interested in establishing the Liberty Power Company. That'll start him off with 9k watts of 120ACV power, to be augmented by whatever native sources he can get up and running as time goes by.
