Where were the plastic patrol and what were they doing to protect the homes?
Modular houses are built in controlled environments under the factory roof and are shipped in weather-proofed wrapping. Guess they forgot to use the weather Proofed Wrap.
That wrap is not meant to be a permanent solution! It will last some time, but not forever.
There are lots of reasons why these homes just stood empty and that's a shame. Government, state, local, federal, all of them, seem to do a great job of wasting our hard earned tax dollars.
