Actually, we're really not that great at manufacturing houses. We have too few where they are needed, the quality standards both in terms of energy efficiency, design and construction tend to be low, and consumer satisfaction is reportedly dropping.

Too few where needed is a product of laws. Most people have no idea what makes a quality house and so pick the wrong things to focus on. Codes don't allow junk houses, and energy efficiency is pretty high - what counts as a passive house in some areas is too poorly insulated for the northern US code.
