I don't understand the hype around modular homes, the build cost of a house is almost nothing compared to the costs of everything around it.

When you can build modular roads, shops, offices, pubs, schools, utilities, communities and transport links to other areas, we'll need cheaper buildings. Until then the cost of land in any location that anyone wants to live in makes the building cost almost neglible.
