Re:Homes Withstood the LA Fires. Architects Explain Why by pfdietz on Saturday January 18, 2025 @12:39AM (#42746144)
A relevant NY Times article. Mostly on factory built homes, but also has something on trusses for roofs.

"What may ultimately force the adoption of industrialized housing in the United States is a skilled labor shortage. This has already affected one area of home-building: roof trusses, the structural timber frameworks that support a roof. Trusses require precisely cutting angles, a skill few workers possess, and so the structures are now mostly made in factories."
