You appreciate restrictions on building mobile homes citing freedom-hating socialist rhetoric such as "neighborhood property values", but don't mind rigs built offshore that have been known to reduce property values of beachfront property.
The hypocrisy is strong in this one, Obi Wan.
um.... from what I know of the area, the rigs are 100's of miles from the shore, and are but a blip on the horizon.
For peets sakes.. Everything is racial this and racial that.
Using your argument, you spend your days traveling around in neighborhoods that have mansions lined up in a row, ooh wait.. you dont?
Maybe they dont come to your neighborhood, just like you dont go to theirs because of a lack of need. I also dont go through the parts of our city that have huge $25,000,000 homes, just like I dont go through the parts that have $5,000 homes.. There is nothing there to give me a reason to go through them.

I have a friend lives in a brand new trailor. It cost him more to heat that rig in 2 months than my house for the entire winter season. A better option would be to build small and add later.
They have a new generation of manufactured homes which are built and assembled on site as opposed to the traditional "trailer" you might be thinking of. They are alot better than the old trailer style houses and very hard to tell from a site built house. The problem is that they are not big enough to satisfy zoning laws which usually requre 3000 to 5000 sq ft minimum.

they do have 3000-5000 sqft. modular homes, just finished the design a few months ago. They are a pain in the rear to design though, everything is in a 16' wide module that then gets bolted together on site. There is typically someone else that stick builds the garage, pours the foundation and does any additional work that is needed to piece them together. they meet all building codes as well as a set of codes for transporting them.
