The real estate market is a mess, the homes they are building are a fraction of the quality that older homes were built by. This has many factors, like early 1900s deforestation that used fully mature trees as lumber, while nowadays the trees that they are cutting down to use to build homes are barely 30 years old, and have not even came close to reaching their full potential and strength because they're adolescent trees, compared to 100 or 200 year old behemoths that were plucked up during the golden age of America, post WW2 and prior, without considering the toll it would cause for the lumber industry in the future, and this was also when a home cost 10 percent of what it costs now and the quality has dropped tremendously yet we're paying much more for a product which will likely not be standing in 50 years, some homes are being sold with signs of rot already present upon inspection, because the wood is sub par compared to its predosessor. Also, the greedy corporations have cut corners and turned a 2 by 4 into more like a 1.75 by 3.5, making the overall structure much weaker, and they cut other corners like using Styrofoam or compressed recycled wood as major foundational filler. And the home builders don't care, they are doing these sham jobs, if you look at any attic in a new home you'll see nails where they serve no purpose or support beams that are holding up much more weight then their intended to, with nigrig, shotty jobs, using extra beams, usually scrap wood to correct simple constructional errors. And the investors buying property will purchase clear swamp lands to build an entire apartment complex, and people wonder why their basements flood Everytime it rains.

Yes, even in Omaha, several years ago, during the real estate boom, speculators were churning out shoddily built manufactured homes, using the cheapest labor they could find, and when the boom was over, all those half-built homes were left standing rotting. Even the half a million-dollar Mcmansions were built shoddily, they became toxic modly and the owners were forced to abandon them, with just finished home being condemned by the state. Making it even worse is that many of these homes are nothing more than speculative vehicles for, not actual homes to be lived by families, driving the price of homes up artificially, for the benefit of speculators, and banks. Why in ROK, the homeownership is limited to one home, and no home loans available. This discourages speculative real estate boom, wasting of resources.

I didn't think of that but it makes sense, they are building the homes to produce an artificial demand and boom in the market, without a single care about the people who still will buy into these faux homes, unaware that the million dollar home they bought was built with the cheapest possible materials and inexperienced, underpaid immigrants, with their only concern being how to produce the cheapest, fastest, and massive facade that could pass with a high price tag to fool the first time home buyer, or office worker with no knowledge of construction or what qualifies as a solid, and structurally sound home, just as long as the exterior creates the wow factor that they believe is a stronger selling point to most Americans, then they sold you a lemon that they painted in gold paint and paid the inspector to look past some obvious concerning building choices. These types of people are subhuman because they live and act solely with their own interests in mind and either lack a soul or a conscious to know they're robbing a young family of 30 years worth of exorbitantly high interest on something worth as much as a mobile home would cost, with less durability
