Building a house was never a problem and the huge costs are mostly artificial. The biggest problem is regulation and that you need to have a lot of money to convince local authority to grant a permission to build. It is out of reach for a regular citizen. You can't even build a mud hut without a blessing of a civil servant, and they hate when regular people want to build something as they don't have means to grease their hands.

Unless you live in parts of Tennessee or Idaho where codes are not enforced.

That's partially true. But, if you build a house and it collapses on top of you, who's responsible? Who pays for your medical expenses? Even worse, if the house collapses and it falls on top of your guests, who's responsible? Who pays for everyone's medical expenses? That's just one random example, there are many ways a house can fail.
