It’s hard to shake that feeling of a “trailer park” with the current status of these dwellings. I think the connotations associated here are the blockers.
What happened to sears-catalog-style kit homes where they just drop a huge pile of lumber off? Yes you need permits (as does manufactured housing) but I’m willing to bet municipalities would treat common designs the same similar to housing developments where there are like 5 floor plans with only minor variations between each structure. It’s not close to the same but you already have land and a flat surface, I would greatly prefer this option.
- bolangi 4y agoThere are a huge variety of these homes. I've seen two which were excellent, looking more like a wood framed drywall home than a trailer. One in Oregon, one in California. Great if we could develop alternatives to using the most known irritant chemicals in premanufactured homes. Last I heard formaldehyde is present in many pressed wood products. Plastic products outgas, especially exposed to sunlight. I hope our "greener" future will mean manufacturing more of our common goods with more bio-friendly formulations of what have turned out, over plastics' life cycle, to be rather bio-unfriendly substances.
