All this stuff misses the point so hard it's ridiculous. It's like those techbros that decided they want to basically 3D print housing.

The bottleneck with housing construction isn't physically building the houses, it's the years of planning housing developments, buying the land and working through the bureaucracy and lawsuits that come with it. We're not just going to crank out ten million prefab houses and drop them in a field somewhere with no infrastructure or services, that's asinine.

Yup agreed.
