Like most Americans, our go-to search for over a decade was Google. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/exposed-by-harvard-grad-dr-robert-epstein-interview-on-googles-true-power-massive-influence-on-business-public-policy-more-the-creepy-line-deux-viewpoint-for-affordable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google\u2019s apparent search bias<\/a> has become more obvious (certainly to us) in recent years, we have tested other several options, such as Freespoke, Duck Duck Go, Bing, Yahoo, Tusk, or others. To illustrate the widespread nature of the concern about Google&#8217;s bias, per the left-leaning <em>Atlantic<\/em> is a report entitled \u201cThe Tragedy of Google Search\u201d \u201cGoogle\u2019s stagnation has trickled down to its products. Search has grown bloated with advertisements and widgets that prioritize its own services\u2026\u201d But it isn\u2019t just recent complaints, like that one. The complaints against Google have date back for some years. For instance, in 2019 the UK Sun said: \u201cGOOGLE has been accused of &#8220;left-wing bias&#8221; after a study found that the search engine was disproportionately promoting left-leaning news sites.\u201d What will happen in the wake of the Google antitrust case is yet to be revealed. But with those notions on Google search bias in mind some are speculating that Bing, with its new Bing AI search tool, is poised to pick up some of Google&#8217;s dominance in market share. Time will tell.<\/p><div id=\"manuf-245398442\" class=\"manuf-content manuf-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3870480136270376\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3870480136270376\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>In our experience, it isn\u2019t just politics, products, or services that are skewed with Google search.

to find anything like the above in a report with anyone who publishes a manufactured housing industry publication, or who is a blogger involved in MHVille. Good luck. You won&#8217;t see anything like it.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Productivity School<\/em>, Bing\u2019s AI is the top of 7 systems they tested, be they free or paid AI powered search tools.<\/p>\n<p>We have also tested Perplexity AI, which in our view was not as good as Bing AI, a conclusion supported by <em>Productivity School <\/em>too. Other possible AI tests are pending.<\/p>\n<p>While imperfect, the Bing AI results are routinely useful.

Part of the answer was quite surprising.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&gt; \u201cYou mentioned MHProNews and MHLivingNews in a prior response. Both of those sites feature graphics and data that reflect manufactured housing production data going back to at least the mid-1990s. Why doesn&#8217;t Manufactured Housing Institute linked MHInsider offer such charts and data?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BingsAIchatAnswerImage-MHProNews.png\" \/>That\u2019s an interesting question. I don\u2019t know the exact reason why MHInsider does not offer such charts and data, but I can speculate based on the information I found on the web.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body2-font-weight);\">One possible reason is that MHInsider is affiliated with MHVillage, which is the nation\u2019s premier online marketplace for buying and selling manufactured homes. MHInsider may focus more on providing news, trends, and events related to the manufactured housing industry, rather than historical data and analysis.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhousing.org\/resources\/\" data-citationid=\"902fef01-c778-ab39-393a-6a2026322dfe-3-group\">MHInsider may also rely on the data and research provided by the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), which is the national trade association for the manufactured housing industry<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhousing.org\/resources\/\" data-citationid=\"902fef01-c778-ab39-393a-6a2026322dfe-3\" aria-label=\"1: \"><sup style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-caption2-strong-font-weight);\">1<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body2-font-weight);\">Another possible reason is that <em>MHProNews<\/em> and <em>MHLivingNews<\/em> are independent and critical sources of information for the manufactured housing industry. They may have access to different sources of data and analysis than MHInsider, and they may have different perspectives and opinions on the industry issues and challenges. MHProNews and MHLivingNews may also have more experience and expertise in the industry, as they have been publishing for longer than MHInsider.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body2-font-weight);\">These are just some of my guesses based on the web search results.

I think this will be the last for this thread, unless you say something totally unexpected. It is my understanding that James A. &#8220;Jim&#8221; Schmitz Jr. with the Minneapolis Federal Reserve and some of his colleagues have presented research on factors from outside of manufactured housing that shed light on manufactured housing industry underperformance. Schmitz has said that HUD and conventional builders have engaged in what they call &#8220;sabotage monopoly&#8221; tactics. That could be a factor in industry underperformance, correct? And Schmitz&#8217;s observations have been presented in Congressional hearings, correct?\u00a0 Then, there is the thesis of Samuel &#8220;Sam Strommen with Knudson Law. Strommen alleged &#8220;felony&#8221; antitrust violations inside the manufactured housing industry, and presented over 130 footnotes in support of his contention. Then, there are the concerns raised by the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) about industry underperformance. William &#8220;Bill&#8221; Boor, Cavco Industries CEO and speaking on behalf of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) told Congress that the industry is at a critical crossroads on July 14, 2023. Boor said zoning and financing issues were among those weighing on the industry. Last is that you mentioned the image issue. Didn&#8217;t MHI claim they were going to address that over 15 years ago when they commissioned the Roper Report? And didn&#8217;t Kevin Clayton say in a video interview in 2011 that the industry was ready to then to do a national &#8220;GoRVIng&#8221; style promotion? Why didn&#8217;t MHI or Clayton follow through on those commitments? Restated, isn&#8217;t there ample support for Strommen, MHARR&#8217;s, and Schmitz&#8217;s concerns to warrant a vigorous investigation?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BingsAIchatAnswerImage-MHProNews.png\" \/>You\u2019re welcome.

But our entire site is dedicated to the notion of factual, evidence-based reports with analysis and expert commentary. It is others who have (accurately) spoken well of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PraiseOfLATonyKovachMHProNewsMHLivingNewsByVariousProfessionalsOvertheYearsTimWilliamsAlColeBarryColeHowardWalker.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">practical experiences in the manufactured housing industry field<\/a>. But BEFORE and since we began to publish articles on <em>MHProNews<\/em> and then <em>MHLivingNews, <\/em>we\u00a0were<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/latonykovach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> MHVille <em>doers<\/em> before we were MHVille writers and analysts<\/a>. Perhaps one reason we can spot BS is because we have decades of industry experience in management in manufactured housing retail, land-lease manufactured home communities (MHCs), with financial services providers, nonprofits, producers (builders of HUD Code manufactured homes), trade show and other marketing, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>As the tag line under the logo at the top left that is prominent on virtually every page of this website says, Manufactured Home Pro News (MHProNews.com) offers \u201cIndustry News, Tips, and Views Pros Can Use.\u201d <sup>\u00a9 <\/sup>We have long used another tag line, \u201cWe Provide, You Decide.\u201d <sup>\u00a9<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Bing AI said that in its own words that it has a perspective. Actually, it is quite correct to say that everyone, including Bing\u2019s AI, has a perspective. We go a step further and noted in our tag line under our logo and make it clear that we provide both news with views.<\/p>\n<p>That said, perspectives based upon facts, evidence, and then applying common sense (or logic\u2026) that fits the known facts are an obvious way to establish reality. The controversy over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/court-says-google-analytics-is-illegal-state-ags-engaged-vs-google-too-time-to-say-goodbye-to-big-tech-giants-manipulative-monopolistic-behavior-plus-mhville-market-u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google&#8217;s bias<\/a> reveals that there is a battle raging over what is true and what is not in society at large and manufactured housing too. That\u2019s one reason why we do reports from time-to-time on items that might seem to some more befitting of mainstream media, or controversies involving claimed bias in big tech and several social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>That said, given decades of manufactured housing experience in managing \u2018street\u2019 retail (a.k.a. \u201cdealership\u201d), land-lease manufactured home communities (MHCs), services with lenders, producers, events promotions, education, and with multiple industry trade associations gives us a unique level of expertise. As a result, what others may or may not know about MHVille, we routinely understand and can explain developments in a way that our core audience, as well as newcomers, grasp.<\/p>\n<p>Based on messages and sources from across the country,<em> MHProNews<\/em> is routinely followed by state and federal public officials, attorneys, investors, educators, researchers, and of course manufactured housing professionals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The CFPB\u2019s White Paper on Manufactured Housing cited MHLivingNews (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/201409_cfpb_whitePaper_manufactured-housingPostedManufacturedHomeIndustryDailyBusinessNewsMHProNews-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">page 11, footnote 15<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/NAR_RU_JournalRealEstateStudiesVol6May2018TheMarketforManufacturedHoumesP48ScholasticaGayDCorroatonCBEDailyBusinessNewsMHProNEws.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scholastica \u201cGay\u201d Cororaton<\/a> cited this writer for MHProNews\/MHLivingNews by name in her first footnote (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/NAR_RU_JournalRealEstateStudiesVol6May2018TheMarketforManufacturedHoumesP48ScholasticaGayDCorroatonCBEDailyBusinessNewsMHProNEws.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see page 48<\/a>) in revising the glitches and goofs in her initial publication of her report \u201cThe Market for Manufactured Housing.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>This writer has been one of a small, select group of individuals who have addressed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhfa.gov\/Videos\/Pages\/FHFA-Public-Listening-Session-Enterprise-Housing-Goals-ANPR.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FHFA Listening Sessions<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhfa.gov\/Media\/Documents\/Kovach-statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">manufactured home financing<\/a> and other interrelated controversies.

Again, Bing AI is rated #1 among paid or free AI search tools by <em>Productivity School<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Are there other experts in MHVille? Of course.<\/p>\n<p>But sadly, too many are apparently \u2018in bed\u2019 with the powers that appear to be involved with the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI). To be fair, going back some years, <em>MHProNews<\/em> was a cheerleader for both MHI and for MHARR. It is also important to disclose that this writer took some time before coming to the sobering realization that several MHI leaders (corporate and staff) were apparently playing a coy game. While they routinely postured stances that often mirrored that of MHARR, they would routinely \u2018make mistakes\u2019 or fail to properly promote the logical follow ups to the very positions that they said they held.<\/p>\n<p>It is typical for media (mainstream or specialized) to toot their own horn. But this isn&#8217;t just about that in this outline. Rather, it is to lay out evidence for why the concerns reported and raised on this site merit close attention.<\/p>\n<p>When third party researchers are peering into manufactured housing, and they are trying to figure out if vexing issues dogging manufactured housing can really &#8216;be true,&#8217; the answer is found in part by our research, experience, and expertise.

If they are actually working for <em>a small group of insiders to consolidate the industry<\/em>, instead of &#8220;all segments&#8221; of the industry and members as MHI claims, then they are arguably committing a form of fraud, deceptive advertising, possible RICO or antitrust violations, etc. Try to find anyone in MHVille with our level of expertise and pro-independent businesses, pro-consumer beliefs beyond our platforms (MHProNews\/MHLivingNews) that will say so openly, publicly and with convincing evidence. Good luck with that effort. Who says? Among others, attorneys who have been probing our part of the affordable housing industry. ###<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"lBiq1U4i2L\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/lowey-dannenberg-probe-equity-lifestyle-els-hometown-america-lakeshore-communities-sun-communities-rhp-properties-yes-communities-inspire-communities-kingsley-mgt-cal-am-properties\/\">Lowey Dannenberg Probe Equity LifeStyle (ELS), Hometown America, Lakeshore Communities, Sun Communities, RHP Properties, YES!
