Over two thousand Cape Coral residents joined a facebook group campaigning to stop modular homes from being built here.
MHProNews has learned that building officials in Cape Coral say modular homes can be built on any lot zoned for a residence, that they will not affect property values, and a state statute limits restrictions on them. The commentary in the video says the property values are already plummeting in the area, as do several people interviewed, although no actual evidence is offered.
City Councilman Richard Leon said, “It is my hope that the community and council can work with the construction industry to tighten regulations in our city, to allow for higher quality design of homes.” ##
