There is a Dutch company with an autonomous brick-laying robot in final
testing.

 
And there are house-sized 3d-printers:

This could help, if the cost of the land is reasonable and the
developers using it don't just build "McMansions" priced out of the
reach of the people who need housing most.

There is also the size problem: young people (singles) starting out
don't have a lot of (physical) stuff so don't need a lot of room
(hence college dorms and military barracks); but
couples/pairs-in-general will need more and those with, say, more than
two kids still more. So, in the long run, the trick is to having the
right size of housing available for an affordable price in the right
proportions.

Without, I should note, cutting down every single tree in the area. Or
paving over the parks. Preferably.
