There is an argument to be made that the more attention that can be brought to bear on the root causes of the affordable housing crisis and manufactured housing’s potential, the better. There is another argument to be made that the more attention that can be brought to bear on the Consolidation Thesis and the Manufactured Housing Institute’s (MHI) apparent role in that process, the better. Yesterday (9.30.2026), MHProNews readers were treated to this: “MHI actively monitors and proactively addresses any attempts by third parties who wrongfully disparage the organization. Therefore, to the extent any third party communicates (orally, in writing, electronically) untrue, false, fabricated deleterious statements regarding MHI, the Institute is firmly committed to pursue every legal remedy available to preserve the reputation it has worked so hard to establish and maintain.” So said Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) outside attorney David Goch. MHI’s Goch also said: “MHI, in fat, seeks out all points of view on industry issues anticipating they will contribute to the discussion and ultimately the most favorable, widely supported outcomes.” Really? Organizations routinely monitor their own corporate name in the news via Google Alerts. Firm leaders also monitor via Google Alerts the name of their critics and rivals. So, it is difficult to imagine – especially given MHI outside attorney David Goch’s statement – how MHI could have missed the following from 9.30.2026.
