That <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/does-monopoly-power-impact-workers-stagnant-wages-mh-industry-impact\/\">means monopolization can harm the interests of workers and compensation<\/a>. One must bear in mind, that per experts, there are several legal tests that may trigger antitrust law. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/antitrust-you-cant-penalize-success-but-can-penalize-bad-behavior-former-ast-ag-bill-baer-plus-manufactured-home-market-updates\/\">Sheer size may or may not trigger antitrust law in America, but certain \u2018bad behaviors\u2019 can<\/a>. The left and right increasingly agree that certain firms, often the so-called FAANG or tech giants, may be exercising monopolistic power that violates one or more provisions of antitrust or other laws. In manufactured housing, beyond those tech overlords, Berkshire Hathaway \u2013 parent to Clayton Homes, 21<sup>st<\/sup> Mortgage and other companies &#8211; is a topic of concern. But so is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/restraint-of-trade-manufactured-housing-institute-clayton-homes-21st-mortgage-vanderbilt-mortgage-and-antitrust-law\/\">Manufactured Housing Institute<\/a> (MHI), which is being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/affordable-housing-needed-corporate-corruption-and-manufactured-homes-time-to-get-federal-officials-fully-involved\/\">credibly alleged to fostering consolidation<\/a>. Given multiple opportunities to explain away evidence related to those concerns, the Omaha\u2019s Berkshire brands that are headquartered in the Knoxville, TN metro and Arlington, VA based MHI have declined comment on issues like those documented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/bridging-gap-affordable-housing-solution-yields-higher-pay-more-wealth-but-corrupt-rigged-billionaires-moat-is-barrier\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/bridging-gap-affordable-housing-solution-yields-higher-pay-more-wealth-but-corrupt-rigged-billionaires-moat-is-barrier\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/affordable-housing-needed-corporate-corruption-and-manufactured-homes-time-to-get-federal-officials-fully-involved\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/mobile-home-militia-clayton-homes-wants-your-cornbread-too-join-the-revolution-you-gotta-have-swagger\/\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/rope-a-dope-preserving-access-to-manufactured-housing-act-mom-dad-you\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HUD Secretary Ben Carson &#8211; affordable housing, homelessness, and some 1\/3 of Americans renting<\/strong> <strong>with dramatically reduced chances for wealth accumulation<\/strong>. By chance and\/or by intent, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson, M.D., has spotlighted in recent weeks a surprising solution to the affordable housing crisis, as a video by left-of-center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/we-as-a-nation-can-solve-the-affordable-housing-crisis-says-secretary-ben-carson-spotlighting-manufactured-homes-other-emerging-housing-technologies\/\"><em>Bloomberg<\/em> with other commentary posted here reflects<\/a>. Much of what Secretary Carson has said and done is factually spot on. It should be widely embraced by the manufactured home industry\u2019s dominant firms and MHI. Which is why it may seem odd at first that those same firms that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/hud-secretary-ben-carson-speech-on-manufactured-homes-manufactured-housingactive-ingredientmedicationfor-a-stronger-america\/\">Dr. Carsons\u2019 recent address in New Orleans<\/a> and his June 1-5<sup>th<\/sup> Innovative Housing Summit (IHS) on the National Mall in Washington, DC have given only a token or fig leaf support to messages and efforts that on the surface seem so useful to them.<\/li>\n<li>There are, however, <strong>two words missing from Secretary Carson\u2019s efforts that are legal in nature<\/strong>. Those two words, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/manufactured-housing-professionals-hud-secretary-ben-carson-must-promote-these-two-words\/\">enhanced preemption<\/a>\u201d could hold the key to overcoming most regulatory, zoning, and placement hurdles that are locking millions out of potential affordable home ownership, and\/or lower cost rentals. The fact that Secretary Carson seems to be unaware of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org\/mharr-calls-on-hud-secretary-to-end-discriminatory-and-exclusionary-zoning-of-hud-regulated-manufactured-homes\/\">enhanced preemption<\/a>\u201d \u2013 which officials at HUD have declined responding to that concern \u2013 raises a \u2018swamp\u2019 or crony capitalist question. Have <a href=\"https:\/\/manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org\/mharr-calls-on-hud-secretary-to-end-discriminatory-and-exclusionary-zoning-of-hud-regulated-manufactured-homes\/\">major companies, MHI, and officials at HUD obscured or withheld key truths<\/a> that could help Secretary Carson rapidly unlock the door to home ownership opportunities for millions? Without the need for new legislation? If so, how that topic is handled in the next few months may tilt the outcome of the 2020 races in numerous states. Why?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Because wealth inequality and a growing distrust of capitalism are other key issues, often more so among millennials<\/strong>. Notably, \u201cenforcing the law\u201d and properly exposing a \u201crigged system\u201d that has sprouted \u201cfake news\u201d are keys to unlocking those doors. Because at its root, the interest in \u2018socialism\u2019 is perhaps best understood as concerns over bad behavior by uber capitalists that have manipulated the system to their own benefit. That\u2019s Buffett\u2019s point, in the pull quote, further above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Secretary Carson is not alone in having elevated the value of modern manufactured homes.

There are obviously those who believe they benefit from those stereotypes of manufactured homes as \u2018trailers\u2019 in \u2018trailer parks\u2019 that they may mistakenly call \u2018mobile homes\u2019 when there have been no mobile homes built in the USA since June 15, 1976.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17298\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17298\" style=\"width: 674px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ValuePenguinFearManufacturedHomesAffordableHousingCrisis.MastheadMHProNews.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-17298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ValuePenguinFearManufacturedHomesAffordableHousingCrisis.MastheadMHProNews.jpg\" alt=\"ValuePenguinFearManufacturedHomesAffordableHousingCrisis.MastheadMHProNews\" width=\"674\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ValuePenguinFearManufacturedHomesAffordableHousingCrisis.MastheadMHProNews.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ValuePenguinFearManufacturedHomesAffordableHousingCrisis.MastheadMHProNews-150x147.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ValuePenguinFearManufacturedHomesAffordableHousingCrisis.MastheadMHProNews-438x430.jpg 438w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuepenguin.com\/home-insurance\/fear-manufactured-homes-affordable-housing-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> https:\/\/www.valuepenguin.com\/home-insurance\/fear-manufactured-homes-affordable-housing-crisis<\/a> <\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If millions of Americans knew the facts about manufactured homes, outlined in the 2018 reports above and below, concerns held by millions of conventional housing owners would melt.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/fear-a-solution-to-the-affordable-housing-crisis-and-the-manufactured-home-dilemma\/<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17297\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FearASolutionToAffordableHousingCrisisAndManufacturedHousingDilemmaManufacturedHomeLivingNews600a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FearASolutionToAffordableHousingCrisisAndManufacturedHousingDilemmaManufacturedHomeLivingNews600a.jpg\" alt=\"FearASolutionToAffordableHousingCrisisAndManufacturedHousingDilemmaManufacturedHomeLivingNews600a\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FearASolutionToAffordableHousingCrisisAndManufacturedHousingDilemmaManufacturedHomeLivingNews600a.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FearASolutionToAffordableHousingCrisisAndManufacturedHousingDilemmaManufacturedHomeLivingNews600a-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FearASolutionToAffordableHousingCrisisAndManufacturedHousingDilemmaManufacturedHomeLivingNews600a-575x302.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/fear-a-solution-to-the-affordable-housing-crisis-and-the-manufactured-home-dilemma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/fear-a-solution-to-the-affordable-housing-crisis-and-the-manufactured-home-dilemma\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is in the interest of the long-term economic interests of the vast majority of Americans for their to be more affordable housing, and more affordable home ownership.

So how does one explain fewer manufactured home sales in 2018 than in 2003, when Berkshire first acquired Clayton Homes and their affiliated lending? How does one explain that in 2019, year over year manufactured home shipments are declining \u2013 now for 8 straight months \u2013 during an affordable housing crisis?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Logically, it is difficult to dispute that Berkshire Hathaway has the cash, expertise available, media assets, and media influence necessary for their organization to single-handedly debunk the very concerns about manufactured homes that Secretary Carson\u2019s efforts in 2019 and previously are attempting. Buffett led-Berkshire had $112 billion cash-on-hand in February, 2019, per the <em>Motley Fool<\/em> investor website. Are we to believe that a tiny fraction of that couldn\u2019t be allocated to changing the dynamics of manufactured housing?<\/p>\n<p>Which begs the question, why has manufactured housing not received that kind of support from Berkshire?<\/p>\n<p>It must be noted that Kevin Clayton, President and CEO of Clayton Homes, brags in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/bridging-gap-affordable-housing-solution-yields-higher-pay-more-wealth-but-corrupt-rigged-billionaires-moat-is-barrier\/\">video posted on the report linked here<\/a> that \u201cWarren\u201d told him that they have \u2018<strong>plenty of money<\/strong>\u2019 to do whatever they need or want. In that same 2011 video, Kevin said they were planning an image and educational campaign. What happened to that effort? That same video made a point that Secretary Carson made last week, about how \u2018resilient\u2019 manufactured homes that are properly installed are during a windstorm. It is often older \u2018mobile homes\u2019 that were not properly anchored that are the subject of media headlines, and those are only a few a year to a few dozen, out of some 8.8 million units. Fact &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/oklahoma-tornado-kills-sobering-surprising-fact-check-mobile-homes-manufactured-homes-commercial-buildings-conventional-housing-twisters-and-death\/\">dying in a bath tub, shower, car, or boat are far more common than dying in a mobile or manufactured home hit by a tornado or hurricane<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So why is there so much misleading impressions and misinformation? Why has the RV industry, to pick but one possible comparison, surpassed manufactured housing by some 5 to 1 since 1998, when manufactured homes used to outsell RVs 3 to 2?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17295\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17295\" style=\"width: 655px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ManufacturedHomeMHShipments1990-2017MastheadManufacturedHousingMHProNews600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ManufacturedHomeMHShipments1990-2017MastheadManufacturedHousingMHProNews600.jpg\" alt=\"ManufacturedHomeMHShipments1990-2017MastheadManufacturedHousingMHProNews600\" width=\"655\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ManufacturedHomeMHShipments1990-2017MastheadManufacturedHousingMHProNews600.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ManufacturedHomeMHShipments1990-2017MastheadManufacturedHousingMHProNews600-150x141.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ManufacturedHomeMHShipments1990-2017MastheadManufacturedHousingMHProNews600-458x430.jpg 458w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17295\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The data per MHI member, Skyline Champion, a publicly traded company (SKY).

Manufactured homes are normally purchased for full time living, many RVs are for recreational or part time living. Many RVs \u2013 which are towable as well as motorized \u2013 can be higher total cost than manufactured homes. The cost per square foot for a manufactured home is routinely lower.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To answer such questions, one must first grasp that millions of Buffett\u2019s donations have flowed via \u2018dark money\u2019 channels through various left-wing nonprofits into efforts that have literally attacked manufactured housing business interests.

So, there is natural tension.<\/p>\n<p>Millions in lobbying dollars and other forms of influence peddling are flowing in an attempt to avert the serious need to investigate these problems Antitrust, and other legal measures that are already law could be used to break up and\/or otherwise punish bad actors of which political parties they may be currying favor.<\/p>\n<p>Why is such a scheme even contemplated?<\/p>\n<p>Because housing is over a trillion dollar a year industry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2018DataShareofHousingMarketManufacturedHousingInfographicDailyBusinessNewsMHProNews612.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2018DataShareofHousingMarketManufacturedHousingInfographicDailyBusinessNewsMHProNews612.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"4872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2018DataShareofHousingMarketManufacturedHousingInfographicDailyBusinessNewsMHProNews612.jpg 612w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2018DataShareofHousingMarketManufacturedHousingInfographicDailyBusinessNewsMHProNews612-19x150.jpg 19w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2018DataShareofHousingMarketManufacturedHousingInfographicDailyBusinessNewsMHProNews612-54x430.jpg 54w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018secrets hiding in plain sight\u2019 outlined herein could be worth billions annually to those who have purportedly manipulated the system.<\/p>\n<p>Our sources tell us that these issues are on several federal agency radars.

Keep in mind that the <em>Seattle Times<\/em>, and our own sources, indicate that there are other federal investigations beyond those noted in the next video.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XORHf-1ExrA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Senator Elizabeth Warren and several 2020 Democrats have raised similar issues. The Trump Administration has recently been reported to be investigating big tech, but what has not yet been reported in the mainstream is any investigation into possibly corrupt or illegal actions by Berkshire Hathaway that is costing Americans a fortune.<\/p>\n<p>Congress should hold public hearings on these matters. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because the harm that has been done is public harm. Thousands of independent, small businesses have been harmed by such challenges. Calling in leaders like Warren Buffett, Kevin Clayton, Tim Williams, Joe Stegmayer, Nathan Smith, Richard \u2018Dick\u2019 Jennison, Lesli Gooch, and Jason Boehlert &#8211; among others \u2013 to testify under oath before Congressional committees in the House and Senate could prove revealing.<\/p>\n<p>It may also educate the public in the various ways that Secretary Carson has been promoting, that could boost economic opportunities and affordable housing options that could lift the boats of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bqw5s6qwcZM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Carson has made himself available to sources across the left-right media divide to promote both Opportunity Zones, but also manufactured homes. He\u2019s woven these issues together, arguably because they interlace.<\/p>\n<p>There are debatably 3 possible scenarios that explain how a key solution to the affordable housing crisis that Secretary Carson and others have correctly said includes manufactured homes could be so misunderstood.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One must either believe that one of the smartest and most successful business investors of all time can\u2019t figure out how to support Clayton Homes and their executive team in growing the sales of manufactured housing, OR<\/li>\n<li>One must believe that Berkshire, Clayton, and the professionals at MHI are incompetent; neither of those two bullets makes sense.<\/li>\n<li>Or one must believe that there is a hidden agenda. That the system has arguably been rigged and manipulated in ways to obscure the truth that gives the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org\/the-illusion-of-motion-versus-real-world-challenges\/\">Illusion of Motion<\/a>\u201d without delivering any significant results. That in turn allows Buffett to consolidate the industry at a discount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/239019639\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the recent IHS 2019 at the National Mall reveals that no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/BerkshireHathawayMediaGroupNewspapersLogoPerTheirWebsite8-142-18DailyBusinessNewsMHProNEwsLogo.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BH Media group publication<\/a> has as of yesterday covered the event. Why not? Why didn\u2019t MHI strongly promote that event, not to their members, but to the general public? Why doesn\u2019t MHI have Secretary Carson\u2019s speech in New Orleans \u2013 delivered to their own group \u2013 posted in full and prominently on their website. Are they inept? Incapable? Coincidence &#8212; or is it bullet #3 above? See the related reports below for more on these queries and the surprising facts.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve researched and documented such concerns, layer by layer, over the course of several years. We\u2019ve given the Omaha-Knoxville-Arlington axis repeated opportunities to respond, as they used to do promptly just two years ago. But since then, they\u2019ve gone silent in the face of these evidence-based inquires.<\/p>\n<p>The general public is arguably harmed by these challenges. Thousands of independent businesses \u2013 some that were successful for decades \u2013 folded after the events linked here and since. MHI\u2019s own president took a thinly veiled backhanded slap at them, in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/former-manufactured-housing-institute-president-manufactured-home-owners-urban-institute-and-you\/\">own exit message<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are more than enough reasons for federal and\/or state agencies, and for Congress, to investigate the concerns that are costing the nation\u2019s citizens tens to hundreds of billions of dollars a year. It could be a scheme so bold that it makes Bernie Madoff look like a piker.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a Ponzi scheme, as was the case of Madoff. Rather, this is arguably an antitrust violation to rig the solution to the affordable housing crisis that some 4 to 12 people could have carried out. Using Buffett\u2019s well professed patience, their possible payoff could be in the tens of billions annually. That sounds suspiciously like possible motivation to me.<\/p>\n<p>Why didn\u2019t MHI follow this pull quote from their own prior chairman? Or was that statement just posturing?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliamsGoodArgumensRespondEveryStoryRefuteEveryStatisticMakeOurCaseToPublicTimWilliamsQuoteCEOthenMHIChairmDailyUBsinessnewsMHproNEws.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliamsGoodArgumensRespondEveryStoryRefuteEveryStatisticMakeOurCaseToPublicTimWilliamsQuoteCEOthenMHIChairmDailyUBsinessnewsMHproNEws.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliamsGoodArgumensRespondEveryStoryRefuteEveryStatisticMakeOurCaseToPublicTimWilliamsQuoteCEOthenMHIChairmDailyUBsinessnewsMHproNEws.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliamsGoodArgumensRespondEveryStoryRefuteEveryStatisticMakeOurCaseToPublicTimWilliamsQuoteCEOthenMHIChairmDailyUBsinessnewsMHproNEws-150x56.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliamsGoodArgumensRespondEveryStoryRefuteEveryStatisticMakeOurCaseToPublicTimWilliamsQuoteCEOthenMHIChairmDailyUBsinessnewsMHproNEws-575x216.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After years in the trenches of this industry, having been praised by some of the same people and organizations that we now critique, we think this outline best fits the facts, logic, and the otherwise inexplicable oddities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliams21stMortgagePublicationDailyBusinessNewsMHProNewsMHLivingNews1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliams21stMortgagePublicationDailyBusinessNewsMHProNewsMHLivingNews1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliams21stMortgagePublicationDailyBusinessNewsMHProNewsMHLivingNews1.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliams21stMortgagePublicationDailyBusinessNewsMHProNewsMHLivingNews1-150x64.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TimWilliams21stMortgagePublicationDailyBusinessNewsMHProNewsMHLivingNews1-575x246.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Review the evidence.
