It's been an interesting week as far as media regarding factory built homes -
The NY Times published a very controversial article yesterday: "
The Cold Hard Lessons of Mobile Home U".
In it people who make a very good living in this industry make very
disparaging remarks about "trailer parks" and the people that live in
them. Fortunately industry veteran Bruce Savage set the record straight
on the American Housing Advocates page.
True, there are these
types of communities out there that have no community amenities and
provide a bare bones quality of life, but what they neglected to talk
about is the communities that are all about lifestyle and community.
It
is possible to to to have lifestyle and value all in the same place?
Absolutely! Fortunately there are many land lease communities across the
country that offer a great quality of life to their residents at a very
fair price. The new
American Housing Advocates
group is committed to getting the word out about what a great value
Factory built housing can be, and we are looking forward to learning
more from this group in the future.
