I was deathly ill, likely due to some of the chemicals used in its construction.
In winter, the hot water heater froze.
In summer, we all slept in the living room where the window AC was located because it was the only room cool enough to sleep in.
It had such a bug problem, one of my small sons nicknamed it "the bug house."
While living there, I swore I would never live in a trailer again and said "I would rather sleep in a tent" which I later did for some years.
This article fails to convey to me whether or not the issues that caused me to emphatically make such a declaration have been resolved.
If people want manufactured housing -- aka trailer homes -- to succeed, they need to prove that the construction quality is there and your hot water heater won't freeze in cold weather, your home will not be sweltering in summer everywhere except directly beneath the AC, etc.
I also became afraid of stormy weather in a way I had never been before. Other than not being wet, it felt like I was out in the storm without shelter. I could hear the rain on the roof loudly. I could feel the wind shake my home. I woke up with nightmares.
You want affordable housing? Cool. So do I.
But if manufactured housing is merely a new term for trailer homes and nothing has really changed, this is not an acceptable answer in my book.
