Birth is a messy, painful process.
In order for the joy of new life to occur, there is first blood, sweat, and tears.
The same is true for our nation, and for the rebirth of our manufactured home industry.
Billionaires and millionaires own and love their manufactured homes.
- From those of modest means,
- to the middle class,
- to frugal millionaires and billionaires,
this is the form of housing that has, can, and will transform lives for the better.
That said, there are various forces at work that would love to abort or slow walk manufactured housing. If they can’t achieve that, they would like to restrict the industry in as many ways as possible.
- Ignorance,
- Apathy,
- Greed,
- History,
- Prejudice,
- Monopolists…
…there are a variety of forces inside and outside of our great industry that are at work.
