Some 90 days (i.e.: 3 months) of national manufactured housing production and shipment data on a state-by-state basis reveal significant insights useful for all serious affordable housing advocates, manufactured home professionals, investors, public officials and others. First up will be data for all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico for August 2022 released just days ago on October 3, 2022. That will be followed by July and June data. Some snippets of data will then be ‘pulled’ from those monthly reports to reveal some insights that nonprofits, business owners, investors, politicos, and others are unlikely to find published anywhere else in the U.S.

The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS) gathers this data on behalf of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The monthly national snapshot by the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) is found further below among our headlines for the Sunday week in review.

Cutting and pasting the data from the state of Texas, which is the top producing manufactured housing state in the U.S. and is also number one for new HUD Code manufactured home shipments reveals this snapshot.

Shipments
	SS	MS	Floors	Total
Texas	1,015	1,083	2,098	3,197	June
Texas	728	738	1,466	2,214	July
Texas	998	858	1,856	2,729	August
Production
	SS	MS	Floors	Total
Texas	1,341	1,201	2,542	3,759	June
Texas	1,015	810	1,825	2,645	July
Texas	1,453	995	2,448	3,457	August

So, the ‘official’ HUD data month-over-month for manufactured home production and shipments dipped in July but rebounded in August.

Single section (SS) manufactured homes dominated in production all three months shown.

But shipments of manufactured homes within or into Texas reveals fewer manufactured homes are occurring relative to production in Texas.

There is more unpacked this week.

Make sure you see the postscript for today on a relevant goal and solution-oriented topic.

With no further adieu, here are the headlines for what we and others lovingly call MHVille from 10.2 to 10.9.2022.

Washington D.C. Updates on DOE ‘Energy Assault’ HUD is ‘Already Moving’ on DOE Standards MH Financing MHARR White Paper ‘Validated’ Again and More – MHI Side of Story, Facts & Analysis

Postscript

From Denver 7 via Rumble is the following video.

 

That video was embedded on an MSN article that had MarketWatch as its source. The title of that article was “Inflation is going to fall just as fast as it rose, and that’s investors’ cue to enter the stock market.” It was labeled as “opinion,” was last updated on 10.8.2022 and was submitted by Michael Brush.

Said Brush, “Before you laugh this off, consider the logic. It is not completely absurd.”

• Pardon me, but perhaps Brush is looking to replace Karine Jean-Pierre as the Biden White House Press Secretary?
• Or is Brush looking for a similar role with the Democratic National Committee?

Arguably, no twisted “logic” – so called – can reverse the facts.

The facts are that while several factors interlace that contribute to the Biden era inflation, inflation under President Donald J. Trump was tame by comparison. Yes, higher fuel costs under Biden contribute to inflation, as do other policy-driven factors. But honest economists say inflation is caused by the inflating of the money supply. By inflating the money supply in the U.S. at seemingly record rates, the value of all ‘dollars’ has been diminished.

Inflation, so called, could thus be described as a reduction in the purchasing price of the dollar.

The paltering, projecting, and posturing done in the last some 20 months by Biden and his team could well be a study in Orwellian Newspeak.

Tim Connor, in his non-political article linked above opened with these words in a context of career and professional advice: “Life happens at the level of action, not words.” Alfred Adler. I wonder if any politicians are familiar with this quote? Probably not. …”

Biden promised to unite the nation. But oddly, the unity that has been forthcoming has been unity against his policies and that of his party’s Democratically controlled Congress and bureaucracy.

Biden promised to “Build Back Better.”

• But what has emerged is a nation that has seen record supply chain disruptions.
• Affordable housing is growing rarer day by day.
• As interest rates combined with higher housing costs than 2 years ago, payments on the purchase of a new home are “pricing out” millions of Americans.
• Energy and fuel costs, which drive other costs higher, was exacerbated by cutting off the Keystone Pipeline and a host of policy decisions that surprised domestic energy production. It should be obvious that investors and businesses engaged in U.S. energy production, drilling, etc. are bound to cut back until a more business and non-green policy is put in place by some future – presumably Republican – administration.

As the midterms approach, the importance of this WND op-ed and the reasons why people of all political (or non-political) backgrounds to go and vote the party in power out in the looming 2020 midterms grow. Check it out.

There is always more to say, but that is sufficient for today. ###
