Yeah part of the problem is that US construction is low quality. You'd have to upskill developers and construction teams here because they currently can't make sound isolated buildings here.

Once the technology makes it here from elsewhere, we should be able to do this stuff.

Nope. It's entirely in regulation.

Developers in EU are forced to build to some standard of sound and thermal isolation. If given the option believe me they'd make it as cheap as possible too, just that law disallows it.
