You don’t have to be an expert in housing in general, or in more affordable manufactured housing, to look at headlines and read reports. Someone using Microsoft’s Edge browser can open to a ‘start’ page that includes MSN’s aggregated news feeds. Functions operating in the background of that Edge browser, and several others on the market, may over time lead to somewhat tailored topics based on searches and items clicked. The housing side of the headline will be explored shortly, but this basic review of how the internet works for most people is useful, because each influences the other. Experts indicate that Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and others often want to spoon feed users like you information that is broadly useful to their corporate interests. That means that they are feeding you topics that include information often useful to their perceived political and business interests.

For instance, corporate bias means that more articles will tend to be pro-Biden and pro-Democratic than pro-Trump and pro-Republican. Who says? Beyond lived experience, experts like self-proclaimed Democrat Dr. Robert Epstein, Ph.D., who along with a team of researchers, has been doing studies of these issues for years. A subtle programming of millions of Americans occurs in that search and news feeds process. While there are numbers of potential reasons that are used to explain why Joe Biden is in the White House instead of deposed President Donald Trump, one factor mentioned by such experts is the power of Google and agenda driven search engines driving “millions” of votes.

Using the less biased Freespoke.com search tool, the following came up in response to an inquiry to the 2020 election, one of the reports came from left-leaning Time.  “In order to win the White House, Democrats know that they first have to win the Internet, from Instagram to TikTok and Facebook to Slack.” That report was 4 years ago, meaning, pre-2020 election.

Another report from a Freespoke.com search yielded this report: “Google’s Influence on 6 MILLION Votes for Joe Biden: Insights from Dr. Robert Epstein,” which made the point by MHProNews above: “Google has the power to manipulate search results and potentially influence election outcomes, but efforts are being made to hold them accountable and prevent future manipulation.” An MRC Special Report put it even more starkly in a document found as a download linked here. “MRC researchers have found 41 times where Google interfered in elections over the last 16 years, and its impact has surged dramatically, making it evermore harmful to democracy. In every case, Google harmed the candidates–regardless of party–who threatened its left-wing candidate of choice. From the mouths of Google executives, the tech giant let slip what was never meant to be made public: That Google uses its “great strength and resources and reach” to advance its leftist values.” Google’s Director of Responsible Innovation, Jen Gennai, said Google’s unmatched size, strength and resources are precisely why the company must fulfill its duty: “preventing the next Trump situation.” Per Gennai: “If not us, then who?” 

Efforts to hold Google and others in big tech accountable are important, and MRC’s report makes suggestions. But the steps needed are far from complete. It is important to note that their report reminds readers that Hillary Clinton was predicted to win in 2016, and Trump defeated her, to the shock of many in big media and big tech.

Now, with that dynamic in mind, pivot from politics – which clearly influences housing policy – to housing itself. Because search results obviously drive people on topics like housing too. 

Part I

Investopedia ran a news item that asked:

What Would it Take for Houses to Be Affordable in the U.S. Again?

From that report on 3.21.2024 are the following bullets and pull-quotes.

• Home prices have surged over the past four years, and mortgage rate increases since 2022 have made purchase costs even more prohibitive, especially for potential first-time buyers.
• For houses to be as affordable as they were before the pandemic, a highly improbable combination of steep declines in home prices and mortgage rates, as well as a surge in median household incomes, would be needed.
• Additional supply of new homes would also help, as the U.S. has been building far fewer homes than are needed ever since the Great Recession.

While that is phrased differently, those bullets broadly confirm what The Center Square and Daily Signal recently reported, and which MHProNews provided readers in the report linked here.

Here is what Hyatt said via Investopedia would have to happen for housing affordability to return.

To be specific: To make houses as affordable as they were on typical incomes back in February 2020, home prices would have to fall 40%, the average mortgage rate would have to plummet to an unheard-of 2.45% from its December 2023 average of 6.80%, or median household income would have to skyrocket to $129,096 from its December level of $77,730. A combination of those three factors would also do the trick, according to calculations by Investopedia.”

Simply put, that combination would require an unlikely confluence of events.  Or, HUD Code manufactured housing would have to be unleashed, an option Investopedia didn’t mention, but the Masthead explored in a focused 9-minute report linked here.

Back to Investopedia’s insights. After reviewing several facts, they said this about the housing market.

It’s a situation that’s unlikely to get better anytime soon, housing experts say. While mortgage rates are expected to fall over the coming year as the Federal Reserve prepares to ease its campaign of anti-inflation interest rate hikes and cut the fed funds rate, lower mortgage rates could spur more demand for housing, and in turn raise prices even more.”

Then comes the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Lawrence Yun, Ph.D., insights to the needed solution.

The only real solution is to build more houses, said Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors. Many of the housing market’s woes boil down to the simple fact that the U.S. has been building fewer homes than are needed ever since the Great Recession. The U.S. had 5.5 million fewer homes than needed as of 2021, according to a report by the association.

“If supply steadily appears, then home price growth can be muted,” Yun wrote in an email. “The best scenario is home price growth being less than income growth. Affordability would finally turn for the better after three years of sharp declines.””

Hyatt then uncritically cited the Biden White House plan, conveniently released in the run-up for the 2024 election. Here is what Investopedia stated on that proposal. 

That’s exactly the goal of a set of policy proposals released by the White House Thursday, aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing. If enacted, the measures would, among other things, use federal grants to encourage local governments to change zoning laws that restrict the construction of new housing.”

Part II 

It could be tempting to edit out part of the response from left-leaning Microsoft owned Bing AI’s Copilot below, because it is arguably a case of pitching their corporate allies in manufactured housing. But for maximum transparency, and to show just how ‘rigged’ the system is, the full Q&As will follow. Once more, to Copilot’s credit, when confronted with specific facts, it does tend to pivot. While useful, it also should be observed that most who might use Copilot would be unaware of the information MHProNews provided in the follow up to the first Q&A as shown below. Note the question asked was intended in part to see if it would reveal the Investopedia article cited in Part I above, which it did.

What Would it Take for Houses to Be Affordable in the U.S. Again?

Okay, Copilot, I’ve digested the report on Investopedia and your synopsis of it. I’ve noticed the following. 1) It takes an uncritical look at the Biden Housing Supply plan, which is released just in time for campaign season for the 2024 election. 2) It doesn’t mention manufactured housing at all. 3) It doesn’t mention that a big supply of more affordable manufactured homes would not require a surge in income, nor lower prices, which you admit would have to occur and is highly unlikely. The math for those items are linked here and you helped with that math, correct? https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/masthead/affordable-housing-crisis-solution-made-easy-9-minutes-of-facts-with-applied-common-sense/ 4) Nor does it mention that to overcome local zoning barriers, the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 has a provision known as “enhanced preemption.” While it is unclear that prior HUD Secretary Ben Carson knew about that, as there is no known record of him mentioning it, by contrast, exiting HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge specifically addressed a question on that topic and she clearly knows about it. While she is aware of enhanced preemption under the MHIA, she, like several of her predecessors in the 21st century, have declined to enforce it. It seems that the points recently made by the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) about three bottlenecks for the industry are broadly on point. Provide feedback on that and link all results.
