You make interesting points Grace and make me see it in a perspective you did not illuminate before - however:

higher order goods....software, financial services, patents, intellectual property, medical services and devices, drugs, etc. which pay an American workforce, in aggregate, far more than making ceramic tile, washing machines, bath fixtures, etc. would

My buds at slashdot keep telling me we have handed the science crown to china/india - they are going to be the higher order goods producers of the very near future - and if that is what it takes to live in nice big houses - americans in general better get used to going back into mobile homes - probably to be manufactured in asia or india - hehe.

Components will be built, shipped and assembled on site in hours. Oil could fugg up the cost advantage of this - we send china our wood - they send us back a nice modular mobile home to put pedro into. Modular housing with modular parts - no more of this permanent wood and nails type styff - we will build NASA modules like the space station - you want a new room - snap it on - no need to inspect shitty contractor work anymore on your additions - hehe. I remember watching on discovery a few years back this is how buildings in Japan woudl be built, modular components that could be added to the buildings or removed as demands required.

Say NO to site built homes.
