Off topic from the OP’s submission title, but to me the most interesting segment was on mobile home manufacturing later in the video.
I recently learnt that at the time, the largest building construction companies were in prefabricated housing - in other words, mobile homes.
Stories about factory-built housing as a panacea to the affordability crisis still make it out as if the they are some new concept, but they’ve been around for a long, long time.
- fowtowmowcow 3y agoI think there's a big difference between manufacturing mobile homes and manufacturing homes or multifamily buildings like they to do today. That is having frames built, wired, and drywalled, is better than building onsite. However mobilehomes are themselves no where near the quality in construction you expect for a permanent structure (that can appreciate in value rather than depreciate).
