‘Mobile Home Residents Ask for Relief as Conglomerates Buy up Parks’-Reports Mix of Accurate, Inaccurate Claims Beg Correct Manufactured Housing Institute Response, MHI’s Ethics Code; plus MHStock Update

The top headline on 6.20.2022 on Google’s ‘news’ tab search at 8:13 AM said “Huntington Beach [CA] mobile home residents ask for relief as conglomerates buy up parks,” and includes this pull quote: “Twice a month, every month, dozens of Huntington Beach residents converge in the city council chambers to make a common entreaty.” That plea could be summed up as a call for council members to take action to protect manufactured home resident rights, wallets, and the equity in their homes against predatory portfolio operators. It has become a familiar issue to objective regular readers at MHLivingNews and/or MHProNews. It is an issue that is front and center for tens of thousands of manufactured home community residents and their advocates. As former Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) President and CEO Chris Stinebert aptly said in his exit message, protecting manufactured homeowner interests ought to be central to the planning and interests of manufactured housing professionals.

Chris Stinebert’s comment only makes sense if one believes that the industry’s largest trade association – MHI – was somehow failing in those categories. Note that on the resale front, that could also be an oblique slam on MHI member MHVillage. When the Stinebert parting message is carefully considered, knowing that he is said to have signed an NDA – non-disclosure agreement – the comments are a polite slap in the face of the trade group he was leaving. See https://www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com/former-manufactured-housing-institute-president-manufactured-home-owners-urban-institute-and-you/

For whatever reasons, beyond MHProNews and MHLivingNews, others in MHVille trade publishing and blogging rarely if ever mention these issues that are harming the interests of manufactured homeowners. When it is mentioned, it is often framed through the lens of why the Manufactured Housing Institute (or some other nonprofit professional advocates) aren’t making a counterargument to such reports. Such complaints – think of prominent MHI member Frank Rolfe as an example, or a Berkshire owned unit that brokers manufactured home communities led by Joanne Stevens – as examples.

The principle of separating wheat from the chaff must be used with Frank Rolfe and all others. In quoting Rolfe, MHProNews is not endorsing his business practices, but rather pointing out an apt statement that criticizes the association he himself is a member of today. Ironically, in pointing his finger on these issues, 3 fingers are arguably pointing back at Rolfe and other professionals like him. See the report linked here, here and below as example. https://www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com/making-the-case-why-mobile-home-univ-impact-communities-strive-communities-frank-rolfe-dave-reynolds-should-be-new-manufactured-housing-institute-leaders-the-view-on-predatory-deceptive/

But when someone talks to manufactured home residents, reads the comments from their nonprofit advocates, follows the mainstream news reports, several of the challenges described as concerns by land-lease community residents (a.k.a. ‘mobile home park’ or ‘trailer park’ is how it is often problematically described by mainstream news) – reveal those resident concerns are routinely genuine and demonstrable. To think otherwise is to deny reality.

Put differently, while resident advocates may at times engage in hyperbole, their core claims tend to stand up to scrutiny. So, this isn’t just a messaging problem for MHI. It is a policy issue, especially when it comes to what MHI should do when it is their own members who are accused of the problematic, ‘predatory,’ or potentially illegal behavior.

MHI leaders and outside attorneys have repeatedly declined to respond to MHProNews and our consumer focused sister site about these issues. More on that further below.

As a relevant and specific example, MHLivingNews in a spring of 2019 article, connected the dots between the companies and personalities that HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver featured in his viral, but errantly named video posted on YouTube under the title “Mobile Homes.” That MHLivingNews report, because it focused on facts and evidence, is as useful today as it was at that time. Note that the base document Oliver used was produced by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, which includes the MHAction nonprofit.

Golden State Manufactured-Home Owners League (GSMOL), of which the late Robert “Bob” Van Cleef was a member, published an article that connected MHAction with the Tides nonprofit.

MHLivingNews research confirmed that GSMOL claim. Building on that insight, MHLivingNews reported the evidence that the Tides was funded in good part by one of billionaire Warren Buffett’s nonprofits.

So, Buffett bucks – through various nonprofits (so-called ‘dark money’ channels) and corporate channels, funds both MHI and MHAction.

GoodReads reminds us of this quotations: “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” – Vladimir Lenin. Recall that Buffett enjoys reading histories and biographies. Recall too that Buffett told CNBC’s Becky Quick in a 2021 interview previously reported by MHProNews that ‘bad guys know more games’ (i.e.: underhanded tricks).

It is beyond question that Berkshire dollars and Buffett bucks flow to MHI and into the left-leaning Tides nonprofit.  Following our reporting, MHAction subsequently admitted it is supported by the Tides. The footer to the MHAction website was updated – after the MHLivingNews exposé on the GSMOL revelation was published – disclosed the connection in this fashion.

If the purpose of MHAction, and other organizations like the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, is to highlight the ‘bad news’ about ‘predatory’ manufactured home community operators, they are quite successful at that outcome.

The Washington Post, and publications in states from coast-to-coast have featured articles that mention MHAction or another similar nonprofit complaining about so-called predatory community operators.

Those mainstream reports often establish a negative view of manufactured home living in general and those manufactured home community operators in specific. Thus, while it may bring attention to the plight of residents, the negative reports often cut both ways. When the outcomes are examined, the media coverage may be fueling the push for regulations that mom and pop operators who aren’t behaving the way that ‘predatory’ portfolio operators do to exit the industry. Restated, because those sales of properties are often made to predatory consolidators, the case could be made that advocates are at least indirectly fueling the problems they claim to oppose. This is why the Buffett-Berkshire money trail insights are potentially compelling.

Additionally, negative news may slow the sale of pre-owned and other manufactured homes. After all, who wants to be next in line for that predatory treatment?

Those facts noted, those mainstream media and editorial comments are – or arguably ought to be – evidence of violations of the MHI/NCC so-called “Code of Ethical Conduct.” Here is that wording of that code, per a download from MHI’s website dated in 2019 but accessed on 6.20.2022.

 

Screenshot 2022-06-20 085147ManufacturedHousingInstituteNationalCommunitiesCouncilCodeOfEthicalConductMHProNewsFactCheck

quotequotationMark198x330As a Member of the Manufactured Housing Institute, (“MHI”), and the National Communities Council, (“NCC”), I subscribe to the principles set forth in the following Code of Ethics established by the NCC:

Members agree to engage in conduct and actions that promote and enhance the public image of manufactured housing and land lease manufactured housing communities.

Members agree to promote positive customer and resident relations as an essential responsibility.

Members agree to engage in conduct that respects the interests of customers, residents, vendors, and the general public regarding the manufactured housing industry and manufactured housing community lifestyle.

Members agree to conduct themselves in a professional, courteous, and considerate manner in communications and interaction with other members, residents, vendors, and the general public.

Members agree to adhere to applicable state and federal laws and regulations affecting the manufactured housing industry. Members agree to support MHI in an effort to advance the interests of the manufactured housing industry, manufactured housing communities, and community operators.

Members agree to be bound by this NCC Code of Ethics, as well as the MHI Bylaws, as a condition of membership.

If it is determined that a Member is not acting in accordance to this NCC Code of Ethics, a Member may be expelled from NCC and MHI membership pursuant to NCC Operating Procedures Section 5 and Article II, Section 5 of the MHI Bylaws. ##

 

Editorially speaking, this code of conduct – if enforced – could make a positive difference for manufactured housing professionals, especially independents, quite in keeping with the observations made by Chris Stinebert, mentioned above.  Which begs the question: why is MHI failing to live up to the obvious wisdom of much of Stinebert’s advice to the association he once led?

Additional Information, More Facts, MHProNews Analysis and Commentary

Articles explored like those shown in the fact-checks and analysis linked below seem to be prima facie evidence of violations of violations of the MHI Code of Professional Conduct, as is provided above.

There are any number of reports in recent years like the one this article opened with today. Namely, “mobile home residents ask for relief as conglomerates buy up parks.”  The trends, per a range of sources, are towards consolidation of the manufactured home industry’s communities that were once predominantly owned by independent, often ‘mom and pop’ or family businesses.

Given that MHI’s outside attorneys and others have said that MHI monitors the mainstream news and trade publishers too, it is hard to imagine that MHI is unaware of these concerns and trends. Indeed, since some in mainstream media have raised the topic with MHI, although perhaps not in an ideal manner, the argument can be made that it is apparent that MHI is aware of these concerns. That begs the question: why doesn’t MHI act to enforce violations of their own so-called code of ethical conduct? One answer was provided by an MHI state affiliate, a member of the Manufactured Housing Executives Council (MHEC).

Bright Line Distinctions

The need for ‘white hat’ post-production (and production) companies to create a bright line distinction between themselves and problematic or predatory MHI member brands ought to be apparent. Anyone who does a reasonable Google news search will see examples of such problematic and embarrassing reports themselves. But that could – in theory at least – be an opportunity in disguise for white hats to separate themselves from MHI’s black hat brands. Otherwise, consumers are more likely to lump honest and ethical businesses in with unethical ones, as measured by MHI’s own stated standards.

It should be apparent that MHI has the code for ethical conduct precisely because they are aware of these troubling and industry-limiting issues. The argument can be made that their ‘code’ is ‘useful’ to MHI only to the extend that mainstream media, public officials, and others fail to dig beyond MHI’s window dressing.

See the linked and related reports for more insights and information. If MHI and/or their attorneys respond to these concerns, MHProNews and/or our sister site will plan a follow up report.

“Survey 85 Percent of Americans Concerned About Inflation, Credit Card Interest Up by 3.3” said a headline on Breitbart. ‘Core retail’ inflation was announced on 4.12.2022 as 8.5 percent. Some commentators are saying that the actual rate of inflation in the U.S. is more like 15 to 20 percent. As the value of the dollar erodes, that impact should be considered when looking at stock market performance.
