[quote=Anonymous]"In 1945, American home builders faced an unprecedented challenge. Theirs had been a small-scale industry. The largest firms never built more than 20 houses at a time, and their construction methods were laborious. But with the war's end, several million buyers were eager to leave crowded and often substandard apartment living in cities for houses in the suburbs. They had the means to do so in the form of federally guaranteed mortgages. [b]The builders needed to erect houses quickly, and those houses had to be affordable and appealing to a whole new market, largely people who had never been able to afford a house before.[/b]" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/29/AR2006122900624_2.html If anything the technology was much more primitive then the current builders needing to put up houses quickly.
