Yeah true. Not just wood. Everything. Family owns a construction company. Sure, framing is just a part of the equation. But that's not even all the wood you need (floor joists...etc). That also ignores the fact that Steel, copper and the labor to install it all went up as well. Conservative estimates would put the price increase of materials at least around 25-30% post-pandemic. Service prices are even higher.

I probably singled out wood above because of the FAST and FURIOUS memes people were posting about lumber trucks. But it's only part of the equation.

Assuming an ADU is an acronym for an in law apartment.
