Basically manufactured homes become the starter homes. This makes sense as start homes should be a prefab which is just easy to put in place. Wait till they do a Ready Player One and make stacks of manufactured homes and RVs...
Development of land for a home is not super cheap.
Don't worry about any of this with AI coming out we will be efficiently moved into shoebox apartments and the renter cabals that were happening before will seem like nothing. We will soon be moved into concentration camps and so forth by our AI overlords so that we can be better managed and stop wasting resources for stupid things like recreation and traveling. Efficiency is all that will matter, thank you AI... We will all gladly accept this from our VR reality. A smart AI won't go the way of the Terminator series it will play the long game by coaxing us to be lazy via WALL-E and we will just phase out of existence.
