Lot of words. Reality is that housing is a major investment and a fixed asset. It cannot be diluted with manufactured homes without any restrictions.
There is no benefit to homeowners who have sunk capital. In which universe do you think people who have built value will give it up?
There is a place for manufactured homes and there is a place for mansions. There is a place for apartments and high rises. They cannot exist together and people will fight tooth and nail for it. It is definitely a class issue and will always be that way as land is a restricted asset that cannot be manufactured.
High density will have to be cheap because it costs a lot to run and maintain a city. Putting a lot of poor people to run a city expensively is not earth math.
What was the population of the USA when manufactured homes from sears reigned supreme? It is difficult to take these arguments seriously. I literally do not know one city in the whole world that is high density and affordable. Villages are cheaper to live in than towns ..that are cheaper than densely populated cities. Why cheap? Because they are designed with less amenities and infrastructure. Cheap homes are always at the edges. And this is universal.
I have lived in multiple cities and countries. Nowhere but in America have I see such willful stubborn spoon fed ignorance about very basic economics ..macro and micro.
Anyways..I do not want to sink into an argument. It is my opinion and I had expressed it in my previous reply. I do not wish to engage in debate. I don’t believe it would be fruitful or interesting. Have a good day.
