This final report for tonight will be short and sweet. It will be facts, follow by links for related reports.

 

This pro-tiny house living video was posted earlier today by a vlogger.

 

Here is how many views this tiny house video above has had, in less than a day.

By comparison, here is how many views all of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) videos have been viewed, their so-called “Homes on the Hill” that was part of the Innovative Housing Showcase led by HUD Secretary Ben Carson and co-sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

MHI claims clout.  They also proclaim in a self-promoting video posted on their home page, ‘momentum.’ Really? Then why are manufactured home shipments in decline for 9 straight months, year over year?

More sobering food for thought are found in the linked reports below.  Hey.  We wish it was all good news, but the only way to rouse the industry’s independents is to present the cold, hard, brutal facts.  That’s tonight’s final chapter of manufactured home “Industry News, Tips, and Views, Pros Can Use” © where “We Provide, You Decide.” © ## (News, analysis, and commentary.)
