On vacation to Santa Fe, I drove to Taos a couple times, once driving west to the Rio Grande bridge on Hwy 64. I saw a whole neighborhood of those houses, had no idea it was anything other than a very unique looking place.

Only having the community help her put up her roof. Three other neighbors built straw bale houses, two others also have earthships and another a rammed earth. I live in NM. My boyfriend and I built my frame house as solar passive with all south windows like the earthships. We all did this 20 years ago without building permits. Times are different now.
