The very best way, obviously, is to address the ideological factors that are causing [prices] to rise so much,” Carson said, per the News and Observer about how to create more affordable housing. “These density and height restrictions and parking restrictions, they add to a new, single-family construction about 25% [in price] and to multifamily 32% on average. That’s a massive increase in pricing, which leaves a lot of people very distressed.”

Secretary Carson’s office noted in a press release that the country is far behind schedule in building new housing units.

The U.S. needs about 1.3 million new homes and 325,000 new apartments per year to keep up with population growth. But in 2018, only some 900,000 homes were started and on average only 244,000 apartments are built per year, HUD said, citing data from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the National Apartment Association (NAA).

We are working with the various local jurisdictions to remove a lot of the [regulatory] barriers,” Carson said. “That is the thing that the builders are waiting for.”

Which from the manufactured home industry perspective begs the question, has the Manufactured Housing Institute and/or the HUD staff informed Secretary Carson about the “enhanced preemption” provisions regarding manufactured homes? That’s the subject of a deeper dive, linked below.

 

HUD Secretary Ben Carson, Affordable Housing, Obscuring the Truth, Innovations in Housing, and Manufactured Homes – Masthead L. A. ‘Tony’ Kovach

Hold the headline for 125 words. Poisoning the well. Salting the fields. Those are but two of several ancient methods some enemies used to harm their opponents. The notion behind those vile tactics was if you could kill off their drinkable water or their food supply, someone could effectively destroy their enemy.

Part of what’s noteworthy in the above is Carson’s choice of the words, “ideological factors…” – an online dictionary, per Google, said: ideological” is an adjective that means: “based on or relating to a system of ideas and ideals, especially concerning economic or political theory and policy.”

Below is the schedule that HUD set for the Innovative Housing Showcase, per the HUD website.
