In a country that has just come through a period of abnormally low housing production and now faces the pressures of housing demand by returning Viet Nam veterans, solutions on how to increase the housing supply must be immediate and practical. These solutions must be in the form of low-cost, decent housing in areas of moderate to intense urban settlements and not on the rural fringes away from job opportunities and social contacts. Ameri cans have prided themselves in their ability to overcome extreme crises; housing needs and goals are just such a test of that know-how and ability. Getting lower-cost housing into urban areas regulated by zoning controls is the most difficult problem facing industrialized housing manufacturers today. Only in the rare exceptions of federally-assisted “demonstration” or model projects are developers and manufacturers able to achieve any breakthroughs. Yet, it is undisputed that lower-cost manufactured housing is available and marketable by the mobile home industry, and may be one answer to urban development on non-tract, scattered residential lots.
