The photo above is a reminder of a pivotal time in the development of the manufactured housing industry’s history.
It’s a reminder that manufactured homes (MH), like affordable housing in general, are bi-partisan issues.
Actually, manufactured homes and affordable housing ought to be nonpartisan issues. But we should know after the last few decades that local, state, and national politics impacts manufactured homes and our industry’s professionals and investment opportunities every day.
That’s why ignorance or apathy about the political and related ‘follow the Money’ issues can be costly.
Interest in the midterms by voters, per Pew Research is at 72 percent. That huge for a midterm election.
With just over 5 weeks to Election Day, no other manufactured housing industry news or MH trade media source even comes close to satisfying our industry-leading audience, or the engagement by our dedicated professional readers.
There are several important “Inside MH” behind-the-scenes reports on tap. There are many found below. Make sure you are signed up for the industry’s #1 emailed headline news, so you don’t miss any of the reports that impact your professional world and/or investments.
The report on manufactured housing and the Clinton White House, the high drama – plus profitable ‘lessons learned,’ will all be coming soon to MHProNews.
Thanks so much to our sponsors and readers for making us the runway #1.
Notice: we are starting some new things on MHLivingNews. Stay tuned, it could prove to be…
…epic.
With no further adieu, please see the stories in the week that was, below.
