As MHARR has explained and documented, this decline continues to be driven by key failures within the <u>industry\u2019s post-production sector<\/u> including, most significantly, discriminatory zoning exclusion (tolerated by HUD) and the stubborn refusal of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to securitize chattel loans for nearly <u>80% of the industry\u2019s most affordable mainstream manufactured homes<\/u>. Unless and until someone within the industry can fully explain any and all other possible reasons for this decline, which has left the industry in its current downward spiral, the Manufactured Housing Institute, as the <u>only<\/u> national association which collects representation dues from the post-production sector of the industry, has a duty and obligation to press HUD as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to <u>fully<\/u> comply with the relevant existing laws (<u>i.e.<\/u>, the 2000 reform law and the Duty to Serve law) going forward.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform<\/a> is a Washington, D.C.- based national trade association representing the views and interests of independent producers of federally-regulated manufactured housing.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212; 30 &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part II &#8211; Additional Information with More Masthead Editorial Facts and Analysis from MHProNews <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On 10.4.2023 Bing\u2019s AI Chat function was asked the following by <em>MHProNews<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&gt; \u201cWhat is the estimated total of all manufactured home street retailer in the United States?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BingsAIchatAnswerImage-MHProNews.png\" \/>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I couldn\u2019t find a direct answer to your question.\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>MHProNews<\/em> also asked Bing\u2019s AI &#x1f4ac; Chat this: &gt;&gt; \u201cAbout how many manufactured home street retailers have been lost in the U.S. since 2000?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BingsAIchatAnswerImage-MHProNews.png\" \/>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I couldn\u2019t find a direct answer to your question.\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&gt; \u201cWhat, if anything, has the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) said about the impact on street retailers and communities following the letter from Tim Williams, President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway owned 21st Mortgage Corporation in 2009 that cut off lending to independent retailers who didn\u2019t sell Clayton Homes or 21st to repossessions?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BingsAIchatAnswerImage-MHProNews.png\" \/>I\u2019m sorry, but I couldn\u2019t find any direct information on what the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) has said about the impact on street retailers and communities following the letter from Tim Williams, President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway owned 21st Mortgage Corporation in 2009 that cut off lending to independent retailers who didn\u2019t sell Clayton Homes or 21st to repossessions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body2-font-weight);\">However, I found an article on\u00a0<strong style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-subtitle2-stronger-font-weight);\">Manufactured Home Pro News<\/strong>\u00a0that mentions Kevin Clayton\u2019s testimony to Congress.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/dems-provide-revealing-clayton-info-kevin-clayton-ceo-clayton-homes-federal-testimony-yields-apparent-agreements-with-mharr-concurs-with-manufactured-housing-institute-berkshire-hathaway-fhfa-and\/\" data-citationid=\"880237cd-a825-cec0-bc48-d39ef77fdf01-4-group\">According to the article, Kevin Clayton, President and CEO of Clayton Homes, entered testimony into the federal record on behalf of MHI\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/dems-provide-revealing-clayton-info-kevin-clayton-ceo-clayton-homes-federal-testimony-yields-apparent-agreements-with-mharr-concurs-with-manufactured-housing-institute-berkshire-hathaway-fhfa-and\/\" data-citationid=\"880237cd-a825-cec0-bc48-d39ef77fdf01-4\" aria-label=\"1: Manufactured Home Pro News\"><sup style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-caption2-strong-font-weight);\">1<\/sup><\/a>.

Some examples of that are shown below.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, getting lower cost lending and fixing the DOE issue are important. But for the purposes of this analysis, let&#8217;s focus on this issue &#8211; namely, the lack of enforcement by HUD of the enhanced preemption provision of the MHIA.\u00a0 While as noted, MHI and MHARR may initially seem to be on the &#8216;same page&#8217; on this issue, a closer look reveals something different.\u00a0 Namely, that MHI may make comments to Congress or regulators in documents that are often not seen by the vast majority of the public. Those documents by MHI where they have verbally supported &#8220;enhanced preemption&#8221; may or may not appear, for instance, in a search by Bing&#8217;s AI Chat function. Why? Because for years, they are NOT found on the MHI website! Furthermore, they are routinely not found on the websites of MHI-linked bloggers or trade publications. See the graphic below for a snapshot of the evidence. By contrast, MHARR has over a dozen posts on their website that include mention of federal enhanced preemption. MHProNews\/MHLivingNews have hundreds of mentions of the issue dating back for over a decade. Furthermore, MHARR, MHProNews\/MHLivingNews have issued press releases, or this writer has done guest articles on other platforms, that specifically mention this issue by name. Why hasn&#8217;t MHI done the same things?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Note: to expand this image to a larger or full size, see the instructions<br \/>\nbelow the graphic below or click the image and follow the prompts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 607px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ManufacturedHousingImprovementActOf2000EnhancedPreemptionQuotesSearchInsightsOnEnhancedFederalPreemptionManufacturedHomeProNewsFactChecksMHProNews-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"607\" height=\"1195\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i> Note: depending on your browser or device, many images in this report and others on MHProNews can be clicked to expand.

How so? Because if <em>enhanced preemption<\/em> were fully and properly enforced, based on the MHIA law&#8217;s federal preemption provision, more homesites for manufactured housing could be utilized and\/or developed.\u00a0 More homesites, more communities, could mean less upward pressure for site fee hikes. That&#8217;s a basic application of the law of supply and demand as it would relate to this situation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
