This was very good, and you get bonus points for the reference to Van Halen's quality trick.

By coincidence, at the same time you posted this, Construction Physics took a look at ways in which HUD standards could yield more construction productivity for ADU's and other small housing types. I should really rant about that on his blog, but I want to point out there was never really a golden age of modular construction. HUD conforming trailers, mobile homes, etc.... are not an architectural solution for housing except for the most desperate of circumstances. I will maintain that position and object to the way they've been treated from the perspective of land use regulation.

"Inflation in the US, as measured by the change in Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, was 3% on a yearly basis in October, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis reported on Thursday. This reading came in line with the market expectation and was below 3.4% of the previous month.

The annual Core PCE Price Index, the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation, rose 3.5%,"
