I know of at least one prefab option where permitting and inspections are streamlined at the factory.

  That is likely not the same permitting and inspections the commenter refers to.

  See also "manufactured housing".

    No one is writing articles asking why mobile homes haven't taken over. In many communities, they have.

      Locally? Because nationally manufactured home deliveries are a small fraction of what they once were in the 1970s. Adjusted for population they are down to 10% of their peak. https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/mhs/tables/time-series/shiphist.xlsx https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/mhs/tables/time-ser...

        Likely due to the easy availability of mortgages during the 1990s and 2000s.
