I don't know if I agree that the discussion there is any good. Most of it seemed to be speculating about who or what was at fault since the article provided so few details about what actually went wrong, why such faulty homes were allowed to be made and sold despite ample funding and oversight.

I found an article that at least attempts to explain what happened; project managers (people who were trusted with the money after celebrities raised it) mismanaged the copious funding and ended up doing "blitz" builds with shoddy workmanship. And the lumber company sold them "waterproof" lumber that began to rot, immediately [1].

Today, a settlement of about $20M for repairs was reached [2].
