Know all of those small tract homes built during the 50s, 60s, and 70s that few want to live in now? That's a good approximation of what I think they're selling.
The postwar housing was designed to handle the baby boom. It was cheap to build due to uniformity and it largely succeeded at its purpose. We had a huge middle class as a result.
You can have speed, volume, or quality, just pick two. In the postwar period we picked speed and volume. It wasn't a bad choice given the circumstances.
