Based on current, proven construction technology, there is an evidence-based case to be made that no similarly affordable substitute for HUD Code manufactured housing is available which could close the multi-million unit need in the U.S. for affordable housing. MHProNews and/or MHLivingNews has for years periodically reviewed other forms of factory and automated building in various reports. Modular. 3D Printing. Containers. Panelized or other forms of prefab housing. Nothing at this time is proven (which by definition sets wild and unproven claims aside) and known that could close the affordable housing gap in a relatively few years. Nothing compares to HUD Code manufactured homes. A Q&A with Bing’s AI powered Copilot, shown further below confirms that point. If that insight became more widely understood in the investment community it could, in theory, be bringing billions of dollars in investments into the manufactured home industry.
The facts that follow should, if they were widely understood, cause manufactured housing to soar instead of snore.
But despite the impressive data and insights that supports the cause for more HUD Code manufactured housing, manufactured homes for all of the 21st century has been performing at a shockingly low level.
A side-by-side comparison of manufactured home industry data to the RV industry is but one of several ways to grasp the once steady rise of manufactured homes during most of the 1990s and then the stunning fall of manufactured housing in the 21st century.
That said, where are such factual points found on the public side of the recently revamped and revised Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) website?
There are things that MHI might point to as being ‘pro-manufactured housing,’ but when they are carefully examined, MHI’s rhetoric routinely fails to make the best possible affirmative case for HUD Code manufactured homes.
Who says so? Among other critics, the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR). MHARR has made the point that manufactured housing has three key bottlenecks.
Each of those bottlenecks, per MHARR, can trace part of its roots to the failure of MHI’s “post-production” advocacy. Ironically, MHI has essentially confirmed those bottlenecks, technically agreeing with the points MHARR has made. But for whatever reasons MHI failed to do what commonsense might lead someone to think a pro-growth trade group should be doing.
Beyond MHARR’s 3 bottlenecks, MHProNews editorially observed that MHI could and should be doing truly educational marketing. MHI claims at times they do that, but MHI did research supporting an educational/marketing plan which they never implemented. Their largest producer – Kevin Clayton CEO of Clayton Homes – said over a dozen years ago in a video interview that ‘the industry’ (periodic shorthand for MHI used by some MHI members, like Clayton) ‘was ready’ to launch such a GoRVing style campaign. Bottlenecks yielded record low MHVille results while RVs soared.

Part III – Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary, Including Insights from Bing’s AI Powered Copilot
Anyone who thinks AI can’t be ‘programmed’ for an agenda should pay close attention to what may occur after particularly embarrassing reports by MHProNews/MHLivingNews using Bing’s AI powered Copilot.
For instance, Copilot may not mention manufactured housing at all in a fresh thread that queries the U.S. affordable housing crisis. But if an inquiry mentions manufactured homes, Copilot will address the topic.
Similarly, if an MHProNews’ inquiry to Copilot doesn’t mention the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act (a.k.a.: MHIA, 2000 Reform Act, 2000 Reform Law, etc.) and its “enhanced preemption” provision, Copilot may not raise mention the MHIA in its response. But when specifically asked, Copilot will often give a reasonably good response, often better than what (for example) a mainstream reporter might provide, as they don’t normally mention the MHIA or “enhanced preemption” at all.
The full Copilot Q&A thread below is linked here for heavy detail-minded readers to consider. That noted, consider this Q&A near the end of that longer, linked thread.
MHProNews cited NBER researchers Chang Tai Hsieh with the University of Chicago and Enrico Moretti with UC Berkely circa 2018 to illustrate that that some $2 trillion dollars annually is lost to the U.S. economy due to the lack of affordable housing near where it is needed., correct? So, that $ 2 trillion annual impact that Cavco Industries or Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (CT-D) or others have made is hardly new. Isn’t that high indirect cost to a lack of affordable housing a powerful reason to swiftly implement the MHIA’s “enhanced preemption” provision?
Given this substantial indirect cost, there is indeed a compelling reason to swiftly implement the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act’s (MHIA) “enhanced preemption” provision. By enforcing this provision, we can address zoning and placement barriers, promote affordable housing, and mitigate the economic losses associated with spatial misallocation.
Thank you for emphasizing this critical issue, and I appreciate your attention to the economic implications of affordable housing.

Link #6 above is the report linked below. It links the result found on link #8 above on the Gannett-owned Ledger.
The text and data above is about 6 to 9.6 minutes of reading, per CapitalizeMyTitle. In under 10 minutes, this evidence-based case illustrates how MHI could better promote manufactured housing industry growth.
The fact that much of this information is not found on MHI’s website, nor on their surrogate/allied/endorsed trade-media sites, logically leads someone to believe that MHI leaders do not want robust growth at prior or better levels. The linked reports provide additional evidence and information that may be used to support antitrust and market-manipulation arguments involving MHI made by legal researcher Samuel Strommen or others like James A. “Jim” Schmitz Jr. and his colleagues.
