“Regional and national news outlets brought the affordable housing crisis to the forefront via reports on a letter by two dozen Florida Democratic lawmakers to Governor Ron DeSantis (R) that called for a declaration of a “state of emergency” in housing. Before considering their competing claims, note that new, recent, and previous research explores the causes, cures, and controversies about the affordable housing crisis.
By setting politics aside and looking at the facts, evidence, and applying nonpartisan realism, opportunities emerge to solve the U.S. housing crisis once and for all. That goal can be accomplished without a need for new legislation. Nor would these concepts require more taxpayer spending, as what follows details. Millions now renting could become owners, based on current federal laws, spending about the same or sometimes less monthly to own and build equity than it costs to rent.”
Under their headline: “State of Emergency” – Democrats, Gov. DeSantis And Competing Affordable Housing Crisis Plans And Solutions Examined” was this subheading on the Tampa Free Press:
“Swift Relief Possible Because No New Legislation [or] Spending Required.”
The article ends with a teaser that this is the first in a planned series on the Tampa Free Press (also TampaFP or Free Press). It has the potential of becoming one of the most important media series of articles, reports, and op-eds involving the manufactured housing industry in years. As the graphic below reminds us, near the end of the 20th century, manufactured housing was performing 3x better than it is today. That should tell objective thinkers and doers that the only way to return to the industry’s glory days and beyond is to look at the range of evidence and consider those facts in a goal-oriented, solution minded fashion. Look for more on a follow up on the Masthead, MHLivingNews – and of course – on the Tampa Free Press in the fact- and evidence-based op-ed linked here. ##
