Or someone who thinks it's the future and love telling his or her guests about it. Or someone who's fascinated by IKEA furniture.

- shagie 5y agoDriving to Minot a decade ago... you'd see more modular houses on trailers on the road than cars at times. The flood of 2011 messed up a lot and this was also in the oil boom there. There were even tent cities for people there after the flooding. Yes, these modular houses would have been quite welcome there. A tangent question to this is "how easy is it to undo it?" A guy I know wants to do some major renovations on the house - gut it and fix it. It will take a year or two to do. In the meantime... where do you live? Another situation where this could have been useful would have been Biloxi after Katrina where, again, housing is needed in short order.
