Not solving that affordable housing problem means scarcity.<\/p>\n<p>Scarcity, by definition, routinely benefits a few that already have something while harming the many who don\u2019t have but need the shorted item, in this case, sufficient affordable housing.<\/p>\n<p>Manufactured homes have been demonstrated to be about half the cost of conventional housing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/official-u-s-census-bureau-cost-size-comparisons-of-new-manufactured-homes-to-new-single-family-site-built-homes-facts-for-shoppers-affordable-housing-advocates-public-officials-investors-re\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That said, millions have mistakenly been led to believe that manufactured homes blow away in the first big wind. The truth losing a manufactured home in windstorms is a rare occurrence. Properly installing a new manufactured home has been <em>mandated<\/em> by federal law for decades. That said, the statistics are eye opening. Relatively small numbers of conventional housing, commercial buildings, and older mobile or manufactured homes are damaged or destroyed in a given year by a hurricane(s) or tornado(es).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/preliminary-tornado-data-2021-national-weather-service-iii-org-surprising-hopeful-facts-for-affordable-housing-seekers-impact-on-conventional-housing-mobile-home\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next, millions of Americans have been led to believe by \u2018gurus\u2019 like Dave Ramsey that a manufactured home depreciates just like a new car that is driven off a dealer\u2019s lot. Oddly, evidence to the contrary has been known for years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/responding-to-rob-carsons-trailers-and-dave-ramsey-mobile-homes-errors-why-it-matters-to-manufactured-homeowners-professionals-affordable-housing-advocates-me\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ramsey has repeatedly declined to engage on this topic, why is that so? Could it be that Ramsey doesn\u2019t want to admit their organization is peddling a message that benefits certain sponsors but may prove harmful to millions who trust his advice? The article above includes facts, evidence, and expert analysis. One of the third-party reports cited in the report and analysis above is the one linked below. As <em>LendingTree<\/em> explained it, manufactured homes are appreciating at a similar, and sometimes faster rate of increasing value as far more costly conventional \u2018site built\u2019 housing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/unpacking-manufactured-homes-as-an-investment-lendingtree-mobile-home-values-are-rising-faster-than-single-family-home-values-when-do-mobile-and-manufactured-homes\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For decades, our industry has struggled under a misinformation issue. During an information age, how is that possible? Simple.<\/p>\n<p>Some don\u2019t want the perceived threat that competition manufactured housing represents. It benefits some special interests to smear manufactured homes as \u2018trailers\u2019 or \u2018mobile homes\u2019 that blow away or swiftly lose value. It is better from the vantagepoint of some interests to make it harder to buy a manufactured home than a conventional site built house.<\/p>\n<p>So, why hasn\u2019t the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) engaged in an educational campaign to debunk these notions? As odd as it may sound at first, some larger brands in our profession apparently want manufactured housing industry underperformance. The U.S. population has grown substantially since 1998, but manufactured housing is operating only at about 1\/3<sup>rd<\/sup> of the level that it did some 25 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TotalU.S.A.ManufacturedHousingProduction1995-2022ManufacturedHomeProNewsManufacturedHomeLivingNewsMHARR-MHProNewsArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TotalU.S.A.ManufacturedHousingProduction1995-2022ManufacturedHomeProNewsManufacturedHomeLivingNewsMHARR-MHProNewsArrow.png\" alt=\"TotalU.S.A.ManufacturedHousingProduction1995-2022ManufacturedHomeProNewsManufacturedHomeLivingNewsMHARR-MHProNewsArrow\" width=\"598\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TotalU.S.A.ManufacturedHousingProduction1995-2022ManufacturedHomeProNewsManufacturedHomeLivingNewsMHARR-MHProNewsArrow.png 756w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TotalU.S.A.ManufacturedHousingProduction1995-2022ManufacturedHomeProNewsManufacturedHomeLivingNewsMHARR-MHProNewsArrow-567x430.png 567w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/TotalU.S.A.ManufacturedHousingProduction1995-2022ManufacturedHomeProNewsManufacturedHomeLivingNewsMHARR-MHProNewsArrow-150x114.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are reams of evidence from various MHI member companies and their corporate leaders that to various degrees make the following points.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Several (not all) MHI member companies want to restrict widescale developing of new communities (fee simple or land-lease).<\/li>\n<li>There are perceived advantages for various companies to restrict access to competitive financing.

For example, the MHIA has a provision known as &#8220;enhanced preemption&#8221; which was supposed to give HUD a tool to overcome unreasonable zoning that unjustly blocks the placement of more HUD Code manufactured homes.\u00a0 If\/when that is robustly enforced, the opportunity for manufactured home producers, developers, and retail sellers could surge while offering a more competitive option when compared to head-to-head with conventional builders and multifamily rental housing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>But it is precisely those &#8216;special interests&#8217; that DO NOT want to see those laws properly enforced.

How about HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge or HUD PD&amp;R researchers Pamela Blumenthal and Regina Gray.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/hud-sec-marcia-fudge-zoning-manufactured-homes-until-we-start-to-address-this-we-are-going-to-continue-to-be-perpetually-in-this-kind-of-situation-news-analys\/<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/affordable-housing-conventional-housing-mobile-home-manufactured-home-and-modular-housing-conundrum-what-u-s-department-of-housing-and-urban-development-hud-research-revealed\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/official-u-s-census-bureau-cost-size-comparisons-of-new-manufactured-homes-to-new-single-family-site-built-homes-facts-for-shoppers-affordable-housing-advocates-public-officials-investors-re\/<\/p>\n<p>MHProNews\/MHLivingNews have documented those concerns about MHI for the past several years, once we grasped that MHI was part of the problem and not part of the solution. Third-party research that debunks concerns about the manufactured homes that could rapidly solve the affordable housing crisis are routinely not found on the MHI website. Why is that? Are they incompetent? Uneducated? When their experience and background are understood, those possible explanations are easily brushed aside. The sobering reality emerges. Not only outsiders \u2013 competitors to manufactured housing \u2013 but several insiders that are routinely MHI members are thwarting common sense steps that could cause rapid growth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scarcity for some is \u2018profitable\u2019 for others.<\/li>\n<li>Because of the economic &#8216;law&#8217; of &#8216;supply and demand,&#8217; scarcity drives up costs\/prices and harms those on fixed incomes or who are modest wage earners.<\/li>\n<li>Restated, solving the supply and demand issue in housing (or other parts of the economy) in a healthy way can be good for millions of people of modest means. That opens up opportunities for smaller businesses which often are sources for innovation as well as for more jobs. Competition for employees and good jobs can have positive ripple benefits for millions of workers, lower- to mid-management, investors, taxpayers, and others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MHI&#8217;s and their Corporate Master\u2019s Deception and Misdirection Echo Chamber \u00a9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The estimated population of the United States in 1998 was 276.1 million. By 2022 the U.S. population was estimated at 333,287,557, per the U.S. Census Bureau. Despite steady population growth, manufactured home production nationally was less than 1\/3rd of what it was in 1998. There is an affordable housing crisis. Yet numbers of credible third-party research reports have debunked common concerns about manufactured homes. Data below per HUD, MHARR, and others which cited official federal sources.

How many more years or decades are MHI members supposed wait until they accept the fact that current MHI leaders have no intention of seeing these laws they helped get enacted enforced in the near term? That sounds bizarre, but when someone understands that MHI consolidators themselves say that their goal is to consolidate a &#8220;fragmented&#8221; industry.\u00a0 In essence, every independent retailer, producer, community operator had a proverbial <em>bullseye<\/em> painted on them years ago by larger brands. It would be sad enough if this was only true in manufactured housing. But in various ways, as the Biden White House Fact Sheet on Competition pointed out, a similar pattern is impacting most American professions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/examining-joe-bidens-white-house-fact-sheet-on-executive-order-on-promoting-competition-in-the-american-economy-plus-sunday-mhville-manufactured-home-industry-he\/<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to endorse the Biden White House&#8217;s and their bureaucrats actual performance on the issues the Biden White House Fact Sheet on competition raised.

That pattern occurs across numerous professions in America. A few benefit, while many are harmed. But along the way, people are led to believe things that appear to be true, that appear to be in the interest of a set of people. But when carefully and objectively examined, what seems to be true often fails to materialize as has been projected. This American pattern is playing out in manufactured housing, which means affordable housing is being impacted.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/the-u-s-can-solve-its-housing-crisis-it-just-needs-to-start-building-bloomberg-washington-post-want-more-manufactured-housing-in-2023-plus-2022-year-in-review-sunday-mhville-we\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/U.S.CanSolveHousingCrisisItJustNeedsToStartBuildingMoreManufacturedHomesBloombergWashingtonPostWantMoreManufacturedHousing2023-2022YearReviewSundayMHVilleWeeklyHeadlineRecapMHProNews.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/the-u-s-can-solve-its-housing-crisis-it-just-needs-to-start-building-bloomberg-washington-post-want-more-manufactured-housing-in-2023-plus-2022-year-in-review-sunday-mhville-we\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i> https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/the-u-s-can-solve-its-housing-crisis-it-just-needs-to-start-building-bloomberg-washington-post-want-more-manufactured-housing-in-2023-plus-2022-year-in-review-sunday-mhville-we\/ <\/i><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>We the People<\/em> must not allow paltering and &#8216;weaponized&#8217; messaging to skate by without careful and objective scrutiny.
