Biggest problem with mobile homes is their susceptibility to natural disasters.
But cant blame people for wanting their own place.
Maybe if there was a way to secure manufactured housing to a crawl space then allow some form of conveyable title for the dwelling while leaving the land in the name of the landlord.
Just don’t build them in the path of a tornado. :-)
A friend of mine lives in a really nice double-wide on his own land. Before the trailer was placed, he built a tornado shelter, then placed the trailer over it making sure the kitchen was directly over the entrance. Ye then cut a hole in the floor as an entrance to the shelter with steps leading down. He keeps all his valuables there. In the unlikely event they got broken into, he placed a rather large throw rug over the hinged door that led to the shelter. Hard to see and find.
It’s skirted like the homes should be, so the entrance isn’t visible from outside the trailer.
He’s never had to use it, but, there’s always that first time.
